    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., ...

    Transformación escalar de la interfaz de operador en teleoperación asistida 

    Muñoz Morgado, Luis Miguel (Date of defense: 2012-02-03)

    Human-machine interaction in teleoperation, through the adequate user interface, allows achieving the level of intelligence necessary to execute complex tasks that cannot be executed by machines or robots alone neither ...

    Understanding human-centric images : from geometry to fashion 

    Simó Serra, Edgar (Date of defense: 2015-07-06)

    Understanding humans from photographs has always been a fundamental goal of computer vision. Early works focused on simple tasks such as detecting the location of individuals by means of bounding boxes. As the field ...

    Utilización de GSSA en el diseño de controladores para rectificadores AC/DC 

    Gaviria López, Carlos Alberto (Date of defense: 2004-07-28)

    El problema de la rectificación AC/DC de la energía eléctrica con criterios de eficiencia de conversión de potencia, baja interferencia electromagnética, bajo contenido armónico en la corriente de línea, factor de potencia ...

    Vision based sensor substitution in robotic assisted surgery 

    Marbán González, Arturo (Date of defense: 2018-02-12)

    Perceiving and understanding the world represents a long-term goal in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In recent years, advances in the field of Machine Learning (ML), and specifically in Deep Learning (DL), have ...

    Visual guidance of unmanned aerial manipulators 

    Santamaria Navarro, Àngel (Date of defense: 2017-04-24)

    The ability to fly has greatly expanded the possibilities for robots to perform surveillance, inspection or map generation tasks. Yet it was only in recent years that research in aerial robotics was mature enough to allow ...
