Control adaptativo por modelo de referencia con síntesis de controlador mínima en sistemas con incertidumbre y sujetos a perturbaciones
In this research work, a non-linear technique called Minimum Controller Synthesis (MCS) is presented. This is a variant of the Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC), which has the main advantage of requiring very little ...
Guidance, navigation and control of multirotors
This thesis presents contributions to the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) systems for multirotor vehicles by applying and developing diverse control techniques and machine learning theory with innovative results. ...
Optimal control prediction of assisted walking using torque-driven models : application to active orthosis simulation to assist individuals with spinal cord injury
Walking impairment after spinal cord injury leads to a decreased quality of life, other serious health conditions, and substantial health care costs. Consequently, gait restoration is a high priority among spinal cord-injured ...
Advances in planning and control for autonomous vehicles
This thesis presents some advances to the state of the art of state estimation, automatic control and trajectory planning fields applied to autonomous vehicles. Such contributions have a common aspect throughout the thesis, ...
Contribución al modelado e implementación de un control avanzado para un proceso de cloración de una estación de tratamiento de agua potable
The effective disinfection in chlorination tanks of drinking water treatment plants depends on many factors that must be taken into account when designing a suitable control system. The chemical characteristics of the water ...
Development of new algorithms for depth of anesthesia monitoring integrating cerebral blood flow estimations
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reflects the rate of delivery of arterial blood to the brain. Since no nutrients, oxygen or water can be stored in the cranial cavity due to space and pressure restrictions, a continuous perfusion ...
3D Partial scans models for people recognition with a RGB-D sensor
Research developed in this thesis is motivated by a vision of a future where social activities and personalized services are delivered in intelligent environments, entering a new era of more natural and wholesome human-machine ...
On the fault diagnosis of dynamic systems using set-based approaches
Model-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is a major theoretical topic that is becoming increasingly to one of the most significant key features to increase safety and reliability of complex automatic control systems. ...
Gestión energética de vehículos hibridos usando control predictivo económico
Every method of energy generation and transmission affects the environment. Under this principle, conventional generation options based on fossil fuels, such as coal, gasoline, diesel, among others, are progressively ...
Endurance races effects in non-elite runners by clinical biomarkers and bioimpedance measurements
Participation in marathons and ultra-endurance races is growing every day, but it is worrisome that these types of races are becoming mass events, where many runners are not sufficiently prepared. For example, in the 2017 ...
Heat pump controls to exploit the energy flexibility of building thermal loads
Smart controls for heat pumps are required to harness the full energy flexibility potential of building thermal loads. A literature review revealed that most strategies used for this purpose can be classified in two ...
UAV perception for safe flight under physical interaction
The control of autonomous flying vehicles with navigation purposes is a challenging task. Complexity arises mainly due to the non-linearity and uncertainty inherently present in the flight mechanics and aircraft-air ...
Advanced bioimpedance signal processing techniques for hemodynamic monitoring during anesthesia
Cardiac output (CO) defines the blood flow arriving from the heart to the different organs in the body and it is thus a primary determinant of global 02 transport. Cardiac output has traditionally been measured using ...
Contribution to reliable control of dynamic systems
This thesis presents sorne contributions to the field of Health-Aware Control (HAC) of dynamic systems. In the first part of this thesis, a review of the concepts and methodologies related to reliability versus degradation ...
Caracterització morfològica de cèl·lules limfoides normals, reactives, anormals i blàstiques de sang perifèrica mitjançant processament digital d'imatges
The main objective of the present Doctoral Thesis is to obtain new quantitative features by means of digital image processing and machine learning for the differentiation of normal, reactive and malignant lymphoid cells ...
Digitizing arquetypal human expereience through physiological signals
The problem of capturing human experience is relevant in many application domains. In fact, the process of describing and sharing individual experience lies at the heart of human culture. This advancement came at a price ...
Human activity recognition using a wearable camera
Advances in wearable technologies are facilitating the understanding of human activities using first-person vision (FPV) for a wide range of assistive applications. In this thesis, we propose robust multiple motion features ...
Active power sharing and frequency regulation in inverter-based islanded microgrids subject to clock drifts, damage in power links and loss of communications
Microgrids (MGs) are small-scale power systems containing storage elements, loads and distributed generators that are interfaced with the electric network via power electronic inverters. When an MG is in islanded mode, its ...
Enrichment of virtual screening results using induced-fit techniques
This thesis explains the design, development, test on the benchmarking dataset DUD-e and the application to an industrial virtual screening project of the PELE VS platform. The most common and quick tools used on virtual ...
Context-aware home monitoring system for Parkinson's disease patietns : ambient and werable sensing for freezing of gait detection
Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is characterized by brief episodes of inability to step, or by extremely short steps that typically occur on gait initiation or on turning while walking. The consequences of FOG are aggravated ...
