Collaborative social robot navigation in accompanying and approaching tasks
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, ...
Bridging the gap between reconstruction and synthesis
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 ...
Health-aware predictive control schemes based on industrial processes
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 ...
Geometric computer vision meets deep learning for autonomous driving applications
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 ...
Fashion discovery : a computer vision approach
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 ...
Advanced energy management/control strategies for smart manufacturing systems
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 ...
Lidar-based scene understanding for autonomous driving using deep learning
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 ...
Control and management of energy storage systems in microgrids
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 ...
Robust navigation for industrial service robots
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 ...
Adapting robot behavior to user preferences in assistive scenarios
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 ...
Non-centralized optimization-based control schemes for large-scale energy systems
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, ...
Advanced wind farm control strategies for enhancing grid support
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 ...
Information metrics for localization and mapping
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 ...
