    Simultaneous localization and mapping using single cluster probability hypothesis density filters 

    Lee, Chee Sing (Date of defense: 2015-09-01)

    The majority of research in feature-based SLAM builds on the legacy of foundational work using the EKF, a single-object estimation technique. Because feature-based SLAM is an inherently multi-object problem, this has led ...

    SMT techniques for planning problems 

    Espasa Arxer, Joan (Date of defense: 2018-11-15)

    Automated planning is a discipline in the field of Artificial Intelligence that can be described as the process of finding a course of action that achieves a specified task. In other words, it focuses on reasoning about ...

    Social Sales: una nueva manera de intermediación turística online 

    Caparrós Vicente, Ana Belén (Date of defense: 2019-02-15)

    The evolution of tourism has experienced different circumstances due to changes in the tourism intermediation system. These changes occurred since the beginning of modern tourism. One of the cyclic changes was the introduction ...

    Sonar scan matching for simultaneous localization and mapping in confined underwater environments 

    Mallios, Angelos (Date of defense: 2014-05-15)

    This thesis presents the development of a localization and mapping algorithm for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). It is based on probabilistic scan matching of raw sonar scans within a pose-based simultaneous ...

    Supporting competence development processes on open learning systems through personalization 

    Baldiris Navarro, Silvia Margarita (Date of defense: 2012-12-14)
