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 ...
Garcia, Vanesa M. (Date of defense: 2012-04-16)
This thesis presents results related to the design, modeling and control of a low temperature ethanol reformer as a source of hydrogen designed to feed a fuel cell (PEMFC). As fuel, ethanol has been selected as one of the ...
Íñiguez Galbete, Pedro (Date of defense: 2012-05-23)
En los métodos planificadores de trayectorias basados en funciones potenciales, la utilización de las funciones armónicas tiene la importante propiedad de no presentar mínimos locales. Sin embargo, la creación de ...
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). ...
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: ...
Ramos Fuentes, Germán Andrés (Date of defense: 2012-09-12)
The tracking/rejection of periodic signals constitutes a wide field of research in the control theory and applications area and Repetitive Control has proven to be an efficient way to face this topic; however, in some ...
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 ...
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 ...
Pérez Ruiz, Alexander (Date of defense: 2012-10-17)
This work proposes a framework for the teleoperation of anthropomorphic industrial robots using desktop haptic devices that provides an aid to the operator in the form of haptic guidance based on path planning techniques. ...
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, ...
Valencia Carreño, Rafael (Date of defense: 2013-04-19)
This thesis reports research on mapping, path planning, and autonomous exploration. These are classical problems in robotics, typically studied independently, and here we link such problems by framing them within a common ...
Bohigas Nadal, Oriol (Date of defense: 2013-05-10)
This thesis develops general solutions to two open problems of robot kinematics: the exhaustive computation of the singularity set of a manipulator, and the synthesis of singularity-free paths between given configurations. ...
Rozo, Leonel (Date of defense: 2013-06-11)
One of the main challenges in Robotics is to develop robots that can interact with humans in a natural way, sharing the same dynamic and unstructured environments. Such an interaction may be aimed at assisting, helping or ...
González Vargas, Néstor Andrés (Date of defense: 2013-06-28)
En el marco de la problemática de la programación de operaciones en taller, en esta tesis se introduce un nuevo problema, que se identifica como problema de flujo general flexible (fJSP) con fechas comprometidas y costes ...
Sánchez Hernández, Germán (Date of defense: 2013-09-13)
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. ...
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 ...
Samà Monsonís, Albert (Date of defense: 2013-10-03)
This thesis presents the original contributions of the author on the field of human movement analysis from signals captured by accelerometers. These sensors are capable of converting acceleration from some body parts into ...
Garrell Zulueta, Anaís (Date of defense: 2013-12-20)
The development of social robots capable of interacting with humans is one of the principal challenges in the field of robotics. More and more, robots are appearing in dynamic environments, like pedestrian walkways, ...
Carrero Candelas, Niliana Andreina (Date of defense: 2014-07-18)
This thesis covered the modeling, simulation as well as the design of a control law for a coupled inductor Boost converter. In particular, from the point of view of modeling, we focused on the use of averaged modeling ...
Joseph Duran, Bernat (Date of defense: 2014-11-04)
Combined sewer networks carry wastewater and storm water together. During normal operation all the water is delivered to wastewater treatment plants, where it is treated before being released to surrounding natural water ...
