    • Multi-master ROS systems 

      Hernández Juan, Sergi; Herrero Cotarelo, Fernando (2015)
      Research report
      Open Access
      This technical report introduces the concepts, problems and a possible solution for ROS multi-master systems, that is, systems build from two or more ROS networks, each with its own roscore node. In general this environment ...
    • Path planning for active tensegrity structures 

      Porta Pleite, Josep Maria; Hernández Juan, Sergi (2016-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      This paper presents a path planning method for actuated tensegrity structures with quasi-static motion. The valid configurations for such structures lay on an equilibrium manifold, which is implicitly defined by a set of ...
