  • Model predictive control of urban drainage systems considering uncertainty 

    Lorenz Svensen, Jan; Sun, Congcong; Cembrano Gennari, Gabriela; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç (2023-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    This brief contributes to the application of model predictive control (MPC) to address the combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem in urban drainage systems (UDSs) with uncertainty. In UDS, dealing with uncertainty in rain ...
  • Eduquem les criatures... també les artificials! 

    Torras, Carme (2023-04-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Artificial és tot allò creat pels humans, ja siguin objectes d’artesania com enginys fruit de la tecnologia. Malgrat l’antiguitat dels productes artificials i de la utilització d’eines per construir-los, no és fins a ...
  • Collocation methods for second and higher order systems 

    Moreno Martín, Siro; Ros Giralt, Lluís; Celaya Llover, Enric (2023-02-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    It is often unnoticed that the predominant way to use collocation methods is fundamentally flawed when applied to optimal control in robotics. Such methods assume that the system dynamics is given by a first order ODE, ...
  • Humans i robots: ¿qui modela qui? 

    Torras, Carme (2023)
    Article
    Accés obert
    En un futur ben proper, els robots socials, que avui són objecte d’intensa investigació, sens dubte ens modelaran. Individualment i com a societat. Això ens obliga a preparar-nos per respondre moltes qüestions, principalment ...
  • A hybrid control-oriented PEMFC model based on echo state networks and gaussian radial basis functions 

    Aguilar Plazaola, José Agustín; Chanal, Damien; Chamagne, Didier; Yousfi-Steiner, Nadia; Péra, Marie-Cécile; Husar, Attila Peter; Andrade-Cetto, Juan (2024-01-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    The goal of increasing efficiency and durability of fuel cells can be achieved through optimal control of their operating conditions. In order to implement such controllers, accurate and computationally efficient fuel cell ...
  • Underwater Pose SLAM using GMM scan matching for a mechanical profiling sonar 

    Vial Serrat, Pau; Palomeras Rovira, Narcís; Solà Ortega, Joan; Carreras Pérez, Marc (John Wiley & sons, 2023-12-04)
    Article
    Accés obert
    The underwater domain is a challenging environment for robotics because widely used electromagnetic devices must be substituted by acoustic equivalents, much slower and noisier. In this paper a two-dimensional pose ...
  • Gendered human–robot Interactions in services 

    Forgas Coll, Santiago; Huertas Garcia, Rubén; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    The outbreak of Covid-19 precipitated the use of service robots in customer-facing services as a replacement for employ- ees to avoid human-to-human contact. However, this development has not resolved the debate as to ...
  • Leak detection and localization in water distribution networks: review and perspective 

    Romero Ben, Luis; Alves, Débora; Blesa Izquierdo, Joaquim; Cembrano Gennari, Gabriela; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Duviella, Eric (2023-01-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    In this paper, leak detection and localization in water distribution networks will be reviewed. In particular, the paper presents the evolution of the methods from model-based towards data-based approaches, listing, ...
  • Shared task representation for human–robot collaborative navigation: the collaborative search case 

    Dalmasso Blanch, Marc; Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Torres Rodriguez, Ivan Jesús; Jiménez Schlegl, Pablo; Garrell Zulueta, Anais; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2023-10-30)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Recent research in Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) has spread and specialised in many sub-fields. Many show considerable advances, but the human–robot collaborative navigation (HRCN) field seems to be stuck focusing on ...
  • Condition-based design of variable impedance controllers from user demonstrations 

    San Miguel Tello, Alberto; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    This paper presents an approach to ensure conditions on Variable Impedance Controllers through the off-line tuning of the parameters involved in its description. In particular, we prove its application to term modulations ...
  • Social robot-delivered customer-facing services: an assessment of the experience 

    Forgas Coll, Santiago; Huertas Garcia, Rubén; Andriella, Antonio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-03-12)
    Article
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    The ability to install social intelligence protocols in robots in order for them to exhibit conversational skills has made them ideal tools for delivering services with a high cognitive and low emotional load. Little is ...
  • Generating predicate suggestions based on the space of plans: an example of planning with preferences 

    Canal Camprodon, Gerard; Torras, Carme; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (2023-05-31)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Task planning in human–robot environments tends to be particularly complex as it involves additional uncertainty introduced by the human user. Several plans, entailing few or various differences, can be obtained to solve ...
