      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés restringit per decisió de l'autor
      The aim of this project is the study and implementation of a path planning system for a multi-rotor within the framework of autonomous navigation. The theoretical study begins with a brief introduction to the key concepts ...
    • Pose-graph SLAM sparsification using factor descent 

      Vallvé Navarro, Joan; Solà Ortega, Joan; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2019-09-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Since state of the art simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms are not constant time, it is often necessary to reduce the problem size while keeping as much of the original graph’s information content. In ...
    • Potential information fields for mobile robot exploration 

      Vallvé Navarro, Joan; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2015-07-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We present a decision theoretic approach to mobile robot exploration. The method evaluates the reduction of joint path and map entropy and computes a potential information field in robot configuration space using these ...
    • Robotic monocular SLAM in wastewater treatment plants with a sampling device 

      Guerra Paradas, Edmundo; Bolea Monte, Yolanda; Munguía Alcalá, Rodrigo Francisco; Grau Saldes, Antoni (Springer, Charm, 2019)
      Comunicació de congrés
      Accés obert
      A novel application is presented in this paper. Wastewater treatment plants need to sample water to follow the cleaned process continuously. This task is very tedious for laboratory workers and, mainly, can be done in ...
    • User-friendly smartphone interface to share knowledge in human-robot collaborative search tasks 

      Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Torres Rodriguez, Ivan Jesús; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      Long-distance human-robot collaborative tasks require robust forms of knowledge-sharing among agents in order to optimize the performance of the task. In this paper, we propose to take advantage of the proliferation of ...
