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.

Fast ready-to-harvest cotton detection and classification with YOLOv8 in greenhouse crops
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessAutonomous robotic systems come as a new way of harvesting cotton, which is needed to preserve quality while reducing expenses, as opposed to traditional methods. New algorithmic solutions must be developed to detect cotton ... -
4DPV: 4D pet from videos by coarse-to-fine non-rigid radiance fields
(Springer, 2024-12-08)
Part of book or chapter of book / Conference report
Open AccessWe present a coarse-to-fine neural deformation model to simultaneously recover the camera pose and the 4D reconstruction of an unknown object from multiple RGB sequences in the wild. To that end, our approach does not ... -
VQ-HPS: Human pose and shape estimation in a vector-quantized latent space
(Springer, 2024-11-29)
Part of book or chapter of book / Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyPrevious works on Human Pose and Shape Estimation (HPSE) from RGB images can be broadly categorized into two main groups: parametric and non-parametric approaches. Parametric techniques leverage a low-dimensional statistical ... -
Dual-space augmented intrinsic-LoRA for wind turbine segmentation
(2025)
Conference lecture
Open AccessAccurate segmentation of wind turbine blade (WTB) images is critical for effective assessments, as it directly influences the performance of automated damage detection systems. Despite advancements in large universal vision ... -
Inside-out states of garments
(2024-02-28)
Research report
Open AccessCloth items such as garments can be potentially in infinite different configurations, due to their deformability. For the practical purposes of manipulation, however, it is possible to discretize the space of deformations ... -
On Lie group IMU and linear velocity preintegration for autonomous navigation considering the Earth rotation compensation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-11-01)
Article
Open AccessRobot localization is a fundamental task in achieving true autonomy. Recently, many graph-based navigators have been proposed that combine an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with an exteroceptive sensor applying IMU ... -
Model predictive control for dynamic cloth manipulation: parameter learning and experimental validation
(2024-07)
Article
Open AccessRobotic cloth manipulation is a challenging problem for robotic systems. Textile items can adopt multiple configurations and shapes during their manipulation. Hence, robots should not only understand the current configuration ... -
Robots as mediators to resolve multi-user preference conflicts
(2024-08-26)
Research report / Conference report
Open AccessIn real-life scenarios, robots will have to make decisions that involve multiple users. The current literature does not consider scenarios where a robot interacts with users who have conflicting preferences. To address ... -
Exploring the potential of a robot-assisted frailty assessment system for elderly care
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessFrailty assessment plays a pivotal role in providing older adults care. However, the current process is time- consuming and only measures patients’ completion time for each test. This paper introduces a set of algorithms ... -
Uncalibrated and unsupervised photometric stereo with piecewise regularizer
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessPhotometric stereo is a technique for recovering a rigid object's 3D shape, reflectance properties, lighting conditions, and specular highlights from multiple images captured under varying lighting conditions. Variational, ... -
Unsupervised trajectory segmentation and gesture recognition through curvature analysis and the levenshtein distance
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessThis work discusses segmentation and gesture recognition in human-driven robotic trajectories, a technique with applications in several sectors such as in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) training. By ... -
Probabilistic graph-based real-time ground segmentation for urban robotics
(2024-04-01)
Article
Open AccessTerrain analysis is of paramount importance for the safe navigation of autonomous robots. In this study, we introduce GATA, a probabilistic real-time graph-based method for segmentation and traversability analysis of point ...
