On model predictive control for economic and robust operation of generalised flow-based networks
This thesis is devoted to design Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies aiming to enhance the management of constrained generalised flow-based networks, with special attention to the economic optimisation and robust ...
Consensus control in robot networks and cooperative teleoperation : an operational space approach
An interesting approach in cooperative control is to design distributed control strategies which use only local information so that a multi-agent system achieves specified behaviors. A basic behavior in cooperative control ...
Enhancing low-level features with mid-level cues
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 ...
Experimental and model-based analysis for performance and durability improvement of PEM fuel cells
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 ...
Diagnosis and fault-tolerant control using set-based methods
The fault-tolerant capability is an important performance specification for most of technical systems. The examples showing its importance are some catastrophes in civil aviation. According to some official investigations, ...
Hybrid modelling and receding horizon control of combined sewer networks
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 ...
Methodologies for hybrid systems diagnosis based on the hybrid automaton framework
Hybrid systems play an important role in the modeling of complex systems since they take into account the interaction between both continuous dynamics and discrete events. Complex systems are subject to changes in the ...
Modelado, simulación y control de un convertidor boost acoplado magnéticamente
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 ...
Contribución al análisis del movimiento humano aplicado a la identificación de posturas y bloqueos de la marcha en pacientes con Parkinson
The following dissertation presents the contributions of the author in the field of human movement analysis and, specifically, in Parkinson's disease. Recent technologies have allowed developing reduced inertial sensors ...
A contribution to the ranking and description of classifications
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. ...
Human movement analysis by means of accelerometers : aplication to human gait and motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
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 ...
Contribution to the study and design of advanced controllers : application to smelting furnaces
In this doctoral thesis, contributions to the study and design of advanced controllers and their application to metallurgical smelting furnaces are discussed. For this purpose, this kind of plants has been described in ...
Cooperative social robots: accompanying, guiding and interacting with people
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, ...
Robot learning from demonstration of force-based manipulation tasks
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 ...
Numerical computation and avoidance of manipulator singularities
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. ...
Mapping, planning and exploration with Pose SLAM
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 ...
Resource and performance trade-offs in real-time embedded control systems
The use of computer controlled systems has increased dramatically in our daily life. Microprocessors are embedded in most of the daily- used devices. Due to cost constraints, many of these devices that run control ...
Efficient approaches for object class detection
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 ...
Generació de decisions davant d'incerteses
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 ...
Digital repetitive control under varying frequency conditions
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 ...
