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 ...
Although there has been remarkable progress in the pose estimation literature, there are still a number of limitations when existing algorithms must be applied in everyday applications, especially in uncontrolled environments. ...
This thesis presents a novel and complete fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. This methodology is specifically designed for selecting classifications in the framework of unsupervised learning systems. ...
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 ...
(English) The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is a measurement tool to assess post-stroke upper extremities motor function. However, ARAT scoring can be subjective and limited only to determining performance quality. ...
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 ...
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 ...
It is a fact that the presence of power distributed generation sources in the electrical sector is growing exponentially worldwide. This can mainly be explained by the increase of renewable energy production, which involves ...
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 ...
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 ...
This thesis presents some contributions to the state-of-the-art of the fields of gain-scheduling and fault tolerant control (FTC). In the area of gain-scheduling, the connections between the linear parameter varying (LPV) ...
(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 ...
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, ...
This dissertation intends to provide theoretical and practical contributions on estimation, diagnosis and control of complex systems, especially in the mathematical form of descriptor systems. The research is motivated by ...
(English) Aerial manipulators, which commonly take the form of multirotors with attached robotic limbs, primarily employ their limbs for pure manipulation tasks and do not rely on them during aerial locomotion. Besides, ...
(English) Transformation of industrial processes to embrace Industry 4.0 revolution needs to use data: valuable data from different data sources, labelled data, semantic layers, metadata to understand better, universes, ...
En diverses tècniques de control robust és habitual treballar amb plantes incertes, el comportament de les quals es pot descriure raonablement segons incertesa paramètrica mitjançant models lineals intervalars. La QFT ...
(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 ...
SLAM (Simulatenous Localization and Mapping) es quizá el problema más importante a solucionar en robótica para construir robots móviles verdaderamente autónomos. El SLAM es acerca de cómo un robot móvil opera en un entorno ...
In our culture, robots have been in novels and cinema for a long time, but it has been specially in the last two decades when the improvements in hardware - better computational power and components - and advances in ...
