    Solving robotic kinematic problems : singularities and inverse kinematics 

    Zaplana Agut, Isiah (Date of defense: 2018-09-14)

    Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies, and systems of bodies without considering the forces that cause such motion. For serial robot manipulators, kinematics consists of ...

    Task-oriented viewpoint planning for free-form objects 

    Foix Salmerón, Sergi (Date of defense: 2016-07-28)

    This thesis deals with active sensing and its use in real exploration tasks under both scene ambiguities and measurement uncertainties. While object modeling is the implicit objective of most of active sensing algorithms, ...

    A template based approach for human action recognition 

    Carmona Leyva, Josep Maria (Date of defense: 2018-06-19)

    Visual analysis of human movements concerns the understanding of human activities from image sequences. The goal of the action/gesture recognition is to recognize the label that corresponds to an action or gesture made by ...

    Técnicas de control para la mejora de la estabilidad en redes eléctricas DC con convertidores operando a potencia constante 

    Arocas Pérez, José (Date of defense: 2022-05-18)

    Some electrical devices in direct current (DC) networks, under certain operating characteristics, behave as constant power loads (CPLs). This behavior is defined by presenting negative incremental resistance, compromising ...

    The role of population games in the design of optimization-based controllers: a large-scale insight 

    Barreiro Gómez, Julián (Date of defense: 2017-05-17)

    This thesis is mainly devoted to the study of the role of evolutionary-game theory in the design of distributed optimization-based controllers. Game theoretical approaches have been used in several engineering fields, e.g., ...
