IRI - Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial, CSIC-UPC
The Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial was created in November 1995 as a Joint Research Institute of the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC).
The Institute was created with three main objectives: a) to promote a multidisciplinary center where CSIC and UPC researchers from different fields can combine efforts to carry out research on robotics and applied informatics; b) to offer to the community an Institute for fundamental and pre‐industrial technological research, offering also scientific education through doctorate and postgraduate courses; and c) to promote a quality‐based center being competitive enough to join other partners to participate in local, national and European research programs.

Visually-guided robot navigation: from artificial to natural landmarks
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessLandmark-based navigation in unknown unstructured environments is far from solved. The bottleneck nowadays seems to be the fast detection of reliable visual references in the image stream as the robot moves. In our research, ... -
Direct position analysis of a large family of spherical and planar parallel manipulators with four loops
(2008)
Conference report
Open AccessThe direct position analysis (DPA) of a manipulator is the computation of the end-effector poses (positions and orientations) compatible with assigned values of the actuated-joint variables. Assigning the actuated-joint ... -
Natural landmark detection for visually-guided robot navigation
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessThe main difficulty to attain fully autonomous robot navigation outdoors is the fast detection of reliable visual references, and their subsequent characterization as landmarks for immediate and unambiguous recognition. ... -
Outdoor delayed-state visually augmented odometry
(IFAC, 2007)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper presents an efficient approach to outdoor visually augmented odometry. The technique computes relative pose constraints via a robust least squares minimisation of 3D point correspondences, which are in turn ... -
Vision-based loop closing for delayed state robot mapping
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper shows results on outdoor vision-based loop closing for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping. Our experiments show that for loops of over 50m, the pose estimates maintained with a Delayed-State Extended Information ... -
Dynamic equations of motion for a 3-bar tensegrity based mobile robot
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessTensegrity structures can give a new approach to the construction of mobile robots with different shapes and properties that usual robots, wheeled or legged, do not have. Tensegrity are light, deformable structures that ... -
Outdoor landmark-view recognition based on bipartite-graph matching and logistic regression
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper describes the extraction of visual landmarks from outdoor images for mobile robot applications. The concept of group of landmarks, called landmark-view, is introduced, aggregating the most relevant landmarks ... -
Exploiting single-cycle symmetries in branch-and-prune algorithms
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessAs a first attempt to exploit symmetries in continuous constraint problems, we focus on permutations of the variables consisting of one single cycle. We propose a procedure that takes advantage of these symmetries by ... -
Understanding motion planning better: a comparative review of “Principles of robot motion: theory, algorithms, and implementations”, by H. Choset et al.
(Elsevier, 2007)
Article
Open AccessThe textbook on Motion Planning “Principles of Robot Motion: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementations”, by H. Choset et al., MIT Press, appeared on June 2005, is reviewed and compared to other two textbooks on the same ... -
Historia de la robótica: de Arquitas de Tarento al robot da Vinci (parte II)
(2007)
Article
Open AccessRobotic surgery is a reality. In order to to understand how new robots work is interesting to know the history of ancient (see part i) and modern robotics. The desire to design automatic machines imitating humans continued ... -
Cognitive system framework for brain-training exercise based on human-robot interactif
(2020-02-25)
Article
Open AccessEvery 3 seconds, someone develops dementia worldwide. Brain-training exercises, preferably involving also physical activity, have shown their potential to monitor and improve the brain function of people affected by Alzheimer ... -
Human motion prediction via spatio-temporal inpainting
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019)
Conference report
Open AccessWe propose a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to forecast 3D human motion given a sequence of past 3D skeleton poses. While recent GANs have shown promising results, they can only forecast plausible motion over relatively ...
