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. ...
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 ...
(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 ...
(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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
This thesis addresses the combination of task and motion planning which deals with different types of robotic manipulation problems. Manipulation problems are referred to as mobile manipulation, collaborative multiple ...
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 ...
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 ...
(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 ...
