Optimización de recursos intralogísticos en entornos industriales para su uso en vehículos autónomos
(English) The introduction of autonomous vehicles in intralogistics has significantly increased in recent times. However, in the industry, a single autonomous vehicle is often not used, but several of them are needed to ...
Crutch gait patterns characterization through spatial and temporal parameters
(English) Crutches are widely used as assistive walking devices for a diverse population. They are often prescribed by clinicians/therapists to help offload the lower extremities for individuals with impairments. They can ...
Surgical subtask automation for intraluminal procedures using deep reinforcement learning
(English) Intraluminal procedures have opened up a new sub-field of minimally invasive surgery that use flexible instruments to navigate through complex luminal structures of the body, resulting in reduced invasiveness and ...
Shedding light on sewer pipes : deep learning perception approaches for autonomous sewer robots
(English) Sewerage is a vital infrastructure for society’s day-to-day life. Its maintenance is a priority and current European legislation increases the demand of a proper inspection. Being a complex access and dangerous ...
Contributions to prognostics and health-aware control of dynamic systems
(English) Maintenance is indispensable in every industry that uses machines and is inevitable regardless of the attention paid to it. The cumulative effect of its neglect or a non-optimized approach is a long or short-term ...
Automatic hands-free visualization of a six degrees of freedom agent within a complex anatomical space
(English) Over the years, a continuous development of intraluminal procedures resulted in strong benefits for the patients. Reduced blood loss, lower risk of infections, diminished scaring impact and quicker recovery time ...
Anàlisi de patrons funcional i estructurals en la regulació del calci en les cèl·lules cardíaques
In 2019 the data published by the World Health Organization showed that the cardiac ischemia is the first cause of death worldwide. These diseases are caused by irregularities of the contractile mechanism’s function, ...
A socio-technical approach for assistants in human-robot collaboration in industry 4.0
The introduction of technologies disruptive of Industry 4.0 in the workplace integrated through human cyber-physical systems causes operators to face new challenges. These are reflected in the increased demands presented ...
Serum potassium concentration monitoring by ECG time warping analysis on the T wave
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients demonstrate an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with declining kidney functioning as a consequence of blood potassium ([K+]) homeostasis impairment, which is restored ...
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 ...
