(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 ...
Robots are making their way in environments inhabited by people. Whether in domestic or public crowded environments, robots should take into consideration social norms and behaviors in order to become a social robot. This ...
The problem of capturing human experience is relevant in many application domains. In fact, the process of describing and sharing individual experience lies at the heart of human culture. This advancement came at a price ...
Aquesta tesi versa sobre l'estimació del moviment d'un robot mòbil a partir dels canvis en les imatges captades per una càmera muntada sobre el robot. El moviment es dedueix amb un algorisme prèviament proposat en el marc ...
(English) In recent years, wind power has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, with wind turbines widely used to generate clean energy. However, like complex machinery, wind turbines are prone to faults that ...
The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...
This thesis presents contributions to the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) systems for multirotor vehicles by applying and developing diverse control techniques and machine learning theory with innovative results. ...
Advances in wearable technologies are facilitating the understanding of human activities using first-person vision (FPV) for a wide range of assistive applications. In this thesis, we propose robust multiple motion features ...
The increasing availability of smartphones is facilitating people to capture videos of their experience when attending events such as concerts, sports competitions and public rallies. Smartphones are equipped with inertial ...
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) instruments are widely used in Metabolomics. To analyse their output, it is necessary to use computational tools and algorithms to extract meaningful biological information. ...
Morphological analysis is the starting point for the diagnostic approach of more than 80% of the hematological diseases. However, the morphological differentiation among different types of abnormal lymphoid cells in ...
Tal com es veurà en el següent capítol d'antecedents, existeixen formes molt variades d'afrontar l'anàlisi de textures però cap d'elles està orientada al càlcul en temps real (video rate). Degut a la manca de mètodes que ...
El control en temps real de xarxes de clavegueram (RTC) desenvolupa un paper fonamental dins de la gestió dels recursos hídrics relacionats amb el cicle urbà de l'aigua i, en general, amb el seu cicle natural. Un adequat ...
L'anàlisi de moviment i seguiment d'objectes ha estat un dels pricipals focus d'atenció en la comunitat de visió per computador durant les dues darreres dècades. L'interès per aquesta àrea de recerca resideix en el seu ...
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
Multiview data is defined as data for whose samples there exist several different data views, i.e. different data matrices obtained through different experiments, methods or situations. Multiview dimensionality reduction ...
Extraction of neuromuscular information is an important and extensively researched issue in biomedical engineering. lnformation on muscle control can be used in numerous human-machine interfaces and control applications, ...
Model-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is a major theoretical topic that is becoming increasingly to one of the most significant key features to increase safety and reliability of complex automatic control systems. ...
(English) The introduction of autonomous vehicles in intralogistics has significantly increased in recent times. However, in the industry, a single autonomous vehicle is often not used, but several of them are needed to ...
En els darrers anys s'han dedicat grans esforços a l'estudi del control de la comunicació entre Elements de Procés de la Informació (per exemple, els computadors), principalment en els aspectes relacionats amb el suport ...
