This thesis reports research on mapping, terrain classification and path planning. These are classical problems in robotics, typically studied independently, and here we link such problems by framing them within a common ...
Although there has been remarkable progress in the pose estimation literature, there are still a number of limitations when existing algorithms must be applied in everyday applications, especially in uncontrolled environments. ...
This thesis presents a novel and complete fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. This methodology is specifically designed for selecting classifications in the framework of unsupervised learning systems. ...
En diverses tècniques de control robust és habitual treballar amb plantes incertes, el comportament de les quals es pot descriure raonablement segons incertesa paramètrica mitjançant models lineals intervalars. La QFT ...
Hoy en día, los problemas de equilibrado de líneas de montaje se encuentran comúnmente en la mayoría de sistemas industriales y de manufactura. Básicamente, estos problemas consisten en asignar un conjunto de tareas a una ...
SLAM (Simulatenous Localization and Mapping) es quizá el problema más importante a solucionar en robótica para construir robots móviles verdaderamente autónomos. El SLAM es acerca de cómo un robot móvil opera en un entorno ...
In our culture, robots have been in novels and cinema for a long time, but it has been specially in the last two decades when the improvements in hardware - better computational power and components - and advances in ...
Un dels camps de la robòtica que estan despertant gran interès per part de la comunitat científica és el dels entorns multirobot. Aquest nom genèric inclou diferents tipus de sistemes amb característiques i problemàtiques ...
This thesis addresses the combination of task and motion planning which deals with different types of robotic manipulation problems. Manipulation problems are referred to as mobile manipulation, collaborative multiple ...
The success in the application of any model-based methodology (e.g. design, control, supervision) highly depends on the availability of a well calibrated model. There is no best or unique solution for the calibration problem ...
Isolated electric energy generation systems are often needed to supply electric loads where the electrical network is not available. This could be caused due to geographic isolation, the necessity of load mobility, demanded ...
In recent years the detection and diagnosis of faults in devices and processes has been a field of research and development that has been addressed from multiple perspectives: control engineering, artificial intelligence ...
Nowadays, it is possible to acquire a huge amount of data, mainly due to the fact that it is easy to build monitoring systems together with big sensor networks. However, data has to be managed accordingly, which is not so ...
Local features have become an essential tool in visual recognition. Much of the progress in computer vision over the past decade has built on simple, local representations such as SIFT or HOG. SIFT in particular shifted ...
Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), a subset of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are becoming popular for several applications and gaining interest due to advantages as manufacturing and maintenance cost, ...
Estimating and understanding motion from an image sequence is a central topic in computer vision. The high interest in this topic is because we are living in a world where many events that occur in the environment are ...
The aim of this work is to improve the reliability and safety of complex critical control systems by contributing to the systematic application of fault diagnosis. In order to ease the utilization of fault detection and ...
This thesis presents the original contributions of the author on the field of human movement analysis from signals captured by accelerometers. These sensors are capable of converting acceleration from some body parts into ...
This thesis aims to develop control algorithms for irrigation canals in an experimental framework.<br/>These water transport systems are difficult to manage and present low efficiencies in practice. <br/>As a result, an ...
An interval observer has been illustrated to be a suitable approach to detect and isolate faults affecting complex dynamical industrial systems. Concerning fault detection, interval observation is an appropriate passive ...
