Decades of research have made possible the existence of several autonomous systems that successfully and efficiently navigate within a variety of environments under certain conditions. One core technology that has allowed ...
Non-centralized control schemes for large-scale systems, including energy networks, are more flexible, scalable, and reliable than the centralized counterpart. These benefrts are obtained by having a set of local control!ers, ...
Nowadays, there is rising concern among Transmission System Operators about the declining of system inertia due to the increasing penetration of wind energy, and other renewable energy systems, and the retirements of ...
With over 1.35 million fatalities related to traffic accidents worldwide, autonomous driving was foreseen at the beginning of this century as a feasible solution to improve security in our roads. Nevertheless, it is meant ...
Robotic assistants have inspired numerous books and science fiction movies. In the real world, these kinds of devices are a growing need in amongst the elderly, who while life continue requiring more assistance. While ...
This thesis is devoted to the study of the optimisation-based control techniques for the design of control strategies that contribute to improve the energy efficiency of smart manufacturing systems. Currently, manufacturing ...
The rate of integration of the renewable energy sources in modern grids have significantly increased in the last decade. These intermittent, non-dispatchable renewable sources, though environment friendly tend to be ...
The research is motivated by real applications, such as pasteurization plant, water networks and autonomous system, which each of them require a specific control system to provide proper management able to take into account ...
Our society is evolving to include robots in our daily lives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop robots capable of collaborating with people to carry out daily tasks, for example: accompanying, searching, transporting, ...
Robust, reliable and safe navigation is one of the fundamental problems of robotics. Throughout the present thesis, we tackle the problem of navigation for robotic industrial mobile-bases. We identify its components and ...
This dissertation intends to provide theoretical and practical contributions on the development of deep learning algorithms for autonomous driving applications. The research is motivated by the need of deep neural networks ...
The position analysis problem is a fundamental issue that underlies many problems in Robotics such as the inverse kinematics of serial robots, the forward kinematics of parallel robots, the coordinated manipulation of ...
Performing semantic interpretation of fashion images is undeniably one of the most challenging domains for computer vision. Subtle variations in color and shape might confer different meanings or interpretations to an ...
(English) Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) constitute a new generation of control systems that seeks a better integration between computation and physical processes. However, the notable advances of these systems in terms of ...
(English) This thesis proposes a Robust Economic Model Predictive Control (REMPC) design based on deterministic approach for optimizing economic costs of energy production and dispatch in smart electrical grids. Robust ...
3D reconstruction and image synthesis are two of the main pillars in computer vision. Early works focused on simple tasks such as multi-view reconstruction and texture synthesis. With the spur of Deep Learning, the field ...
This work proposes a methodology for kinodynamic planning and trajectory control in robots with closed kinematic chains. The ability to plan trajectories is key in a robotic system, as it provides a means to convert ...
This thesis is mainly dedicated to the study of high-pressure alkaline electrolysis. Alkaline electrolysis is a well established technology and is commercially available. However, the operation at high pressure for dispensing ...
(English) This thesis is devoted to exploring existing research around modeling, control, and estimation strategies in OCIS, in order to identify improvement opportunities and propose new strategies that increase their ...
(English) Critical energy challenges are forcing a rapid modification of the current energy infrastructure. lndeed, larger renewable energy penetration, more distributed generation and storage, and higher degree of autonomy ...
