Rojas, Nicolàs (Date of defense: 2012-06-20)
This thesis addresses the kinematic analysis of mechanisms, in particular, the position analysis of kinematic chains, or linkages, that is, mechanisms with rigid bodies (links) interconnected by kinematic pairs (joints). ...
Javalera Rincón, Valeria (Date of defense: 2016-04-07)
This thesis describes a methodology to deal with the interaction between MPC controllers in a distributed MPC architecture. This approach combines ideas from Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) and Reinforcement ...
Villamizar Vergel, Michael Alejandro (Date of defense: 2012-09-18)
La visión por computador y más específicamente el reconocimiento de objetos han demostrado en los últimos años un impresionante progreso que ha llevado a la aparición de nuevas y útiles tecnologías que facilitan nuestras ...
Igelmo Ganzo, Manuel (Date of defense: 2016-01-28)
The first objective proposed in the research of this thesis was the select and develop a (preferably simple) model for graphs, thus, the results obtained through the model may be extrapolated to the modeled objects: graphs. ...
Fargas Marquès, Andreu (Date of defense: 2016-01-22)
Plenty of Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices are actuated using electrostatic forces, and specially, parallel-plate actuators are extensively used, due to the simplicity of their design. Nevertheless, ...
Trulls Fortuny, Eduard (Date of defense: 2015-02-20)
Local features have become an essential tool in visual recognition. Much of the progress in computer vision over the past decade has built on simple, local representations such as SIFT or HOG. SIFT in particular shifted ...
Aguilar Castillo, Wilbert Geovanny (Date of defense: 2015-09-04)
Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), a subset of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are becoming popular for several applications and gaining interest due to advantages as manufacturing and maintenance cost, ...
Castillo Pérez, Esteban del (Date of defense: 2013-09-30)
Desde hace varias décadas los robots industriales han demostrado su eficiencia para tareas desarrolladas en entornos perfectamente conocidos. No obstante, surgen importantes complicaciones operativas en entornos limitadamente ...
Avilés Rivero, Angélica Ivone (Date of defense: 2017-05-18)
Estimating and understanding motion from an image sequence is a central topic in computer vision. The high interest in this topic is because we are living in a world where many events that occur in the environment are ...
García Esteban, Mauricio (Date of defense: 2001-03-16)
En este trabajo se presenta, por medio del procedimiento sistemático de selección, definición y adecuación de estrategias generales del control no--lineal, seis diferentes algoritmos propuestos que permiten efectuar el ...
García Villoria, Alberto (Date of defense: 2010-07-05)
Cuando se ha de compartir un recurso entre demandas (de productos, clientes, tareas, etc.) competitivas que requieren una atención regular, es importante programar el derecho al acceso del recurso de alguna forma justa de ...
Strahl, Stephan (Date of defense: 2014-11-07)
Increasing global energy demand, growing carbon emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel sources are some of the most important driving forces for the development of sustainable energy solutions. Proton Exchange Membrane ...
Primucci, Mauricio (Date of defense: 2012-09-10)
A fuel cell is a device that gives electric power directly from electrochemical reduction and oxidation reactions. PEM fuel cells present some properties that make them appropriate for portable and transport applications: ...
Duatis Juárez, Jordi (Date of defense: 2016-02-05)
The aim of this work is to improve the reliability and safety of complex critical control systems by contributing to the systematic application of fault diagnosis. In order to ease the utilization of fault detection and ...
Tutivén Gálvez, Christian (Date of defense: 2018-09-27)
Renewable energy is an important sustainable energy in the world. Up to now, as an essential part of low emissions energy in a lot of countries, renewable energy has been important to the national energy security, and ...
Rosell Gratacòs, Jan (Date of defense: 1998-10-13)
This thesis proposes a fine-motion planner for assembly tasks in the plane considering two degrees of freedom of translation and one of rotation, taking into account modelling and sensing uncertainties and the effect of ...
Escobet i Canal, Antoni (Date of defense: 2012-09-17)
Aquesta tesi tracta sobre la metodologia del raonament inductiu difús (FIR, de l’anglès fuzzy inductive reasoning) aplicada a sistemes de detecció i diagnòstic de fallades. La metodologia FIR sorgeix de l’enfocament del ...
Rosales Gallegos, Carlos (Date of defense: 2013-01-10)
Several aspects have to be addressed before realizing the dream of a robotic hand-arm system with human-like capabilities, ranging from the consolidation of a proper mechatronic design, to the development of precise, ...
Samà Monsonís, Albert (Date of defense: 2013-10-03)
