3DPeople: modeling the geometry of dressed humans
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessRecent advances in 3D human shape estimation build upon parametric representations that model very well the shape of the naked body, but are not appropriate to represent the clothing geometry. In this paper, we present an ... -
A comparison between two representatives of a set of graphs: median vs barycenter graph
(Springer Verlag, 2010)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this paper we consider two existing methods to generate a representative of a given set of graphs, that satisfy the following two conditions. On the one hand, that they are applicable to graphs with any kind of labels ... -
A conductance electrical model for representing and matching weighted undirected graphs
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this paper we propose a conductance electrical model to represent weighted undirected graphs that allows us to efficiently compute approximate graph isomorphism in large graphs. The model is built by transforming a graph ... -

Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents a constructivist methodology oriented to training Robotics in its wide sense, and its implementation in higher education. A humanoid robotics workshop is included as a part of the curriculum of ... -
A hierarchical framework for collaborative artificial intelligence
(2023-01)
Article
Open AccessWe propose a hierarchical framework for collaborative intelligent systems. This framework organizes research challenges based on the nature of the collaborative activity and the information that must be shared, with each ... -
A new algorithm to compute the distance between multi-dimensional histograms
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThe aim of this paper is to present a new algorithm to compute the distance between ndimensional histograms. There are some domains such as pattern recognition or image retrieval that use the distance between histograms ... -
A survey on socially aware robot navigation: Taxonomy and future challenges
(SAGE publishing, 2024-09)
Article
Open AccessSocially aware robot navigation is gaining popularity with the increase in delivery and assistive robots. The research is further fueled by a need for socially aware navigation skills in autonomous vehicles to move safely ... -
A view of network robot systems in urban areas in Europe

Accurate detection and depth estimation of table grapes and peduncles for robot harvesting, combining monocular depth estimation and CNN methods
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Article
Open AccessPrecision agriculture is a growing field in the agricultural industry and it holds great potential in fruit and vegetable harvesting. In this work, we present a robust accurate method for the detection and localization of ... -
Action evaluation for mobile robot global localization in cooperative environments
(2008-01)
Article
Open AccessThis work is about solving the global localization issue for mobile robots operating in large and cooperative environments. It tackles the problem of estimating the pose of a robot or team of robots in the map reference ... -
Action selection for single-camera SLAM
(2010)
Article
Open AccessA method for evaluating, at video rate, the quality of actions for a single camera while mapping unknown indoor environments is presented. The strategy maximizes mutual information between measurements and states to help ... -
Adaptive multi agent system for guiding groups of people in urban areas
(Springer, 2011)
Conference report
Open AccessThis article presents a new approach for guiding a group of people using an adaptive multi agent system. For the simulations of the group of people we use social forces, with theses forces human motion is controlled ... -
Adaptive side-by-side social robot navigation to approach and interact with people
(2020-08)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a new framework for how autonomous social robots approach and accompany people in urban environments. The method discussed allows the robot to accompany a person and approach to other one, by adapting ... -
Adaptive social planner to accompany people in real-life dynamic environments
(Springer, 2022-12-03)
Article
Open AccessRobots must develop the ability to socially navigate in uncontrolled urban environments to be able to be included in our daily lives. This paper presents a new robot navigation framework called the adaptive social planner ... -
Aerial robotics in building inspection and maintenance
(Technische Universität München, 2018)
Conference lecture
Open AccessBuildings need periodic revision about their state, materials degrade with time and repairs or renewals have to be made driven by maintenance needs or safety requirements. That happens with any kind of buildings and ... -
Aerial social force model: a new framework to accompany people using autonomous flying robots
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)
Conference report
Open AccessWe proposed a novel Aerial Social Force Model (ASFM) that allows autonomous flying robots to accompany humans in urban environments in a safe and comfortable manner. To date, we are not aware of other state-of-the-art ... -
