Odometry estimation for aerial manipulation
(Springer, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter explains a fast and low-cost state localization estimation method for small-sized UAVs, that uses an IMU, a smart camera and an infrared time-of-flight range sensor that act as an odometer providing absolute ... -
Perception for detection and grasping
(Springer, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis research presents a methodology for the detection of the crawler used in the project AEROARMS. The approach consisted on using a two-step progressive strategy, going from rough detection and tracking, for approximation ... -
Precise localization for aerial inspection using augmented reality markers
(Springer, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter is devoted to explaining a method for precise localization using augmented reality markers. This method can achieve precision of less of 5 mm in position at a distance of 0.7 m, using a visual mark of 17 mm × ... -
Relative localization for aerial manipulation with PL-SLAM
(Springer, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter explains a precise SLAM technique, PL-SLAM, that allows to simultaneously process points and lines and tackle situations where point-only based methods are prone to fail, like poorly textured scenes or motion ... -
Visual servoing of aerial manipulators
(Springer, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter describes the classical techniques to control an aerial manipulator by means of visual information and presents an uncalibrated image-based visual servo method to drive the aerial vehicle. The proposed technique ... -
Robotics and artificial intelligence meet the humanities: some initiatives for ethics education and dissemination
(Global University Network for Innovation, 2019)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThe influence of the humanities on the study of a technological subject like robotics needs to rapidly grow, for the simple reason that robotics is becoming a part of humanity: assisting, interacting, and enabling people ... -
Distance geometry in active structures
(Springer, 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessDistance constraints are an emerging formulation that offers intuitive geometrical interpretation of otherwise complex problems. The formulation can be applied in problems such as position and singularity analysis and path ... -
Scene understanding using deep learning
(Elsevier, 2017)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessAutomation based on artificial intelligence becomes necessary when agents such as robots are deployed to perform complex tasks. Detailed representation of a scene makes robots better aware of their surroundings, thereby ... -
Model predictive control of water networks considering flow
(Springer, 2017)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis book presents a set of approaches for the real-time monitoring and control of drinking-water networks based on advanced information and communication technologies. It shows the reader how to achieve significant ... -
Design and development of aerial robotic systems for sampling operations in industrial environment
(InTech, 2017-09-06)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter describes the development of an autonomous fluid sampling system for outdoor facilities, and the localization solution to be used. The automated sampling system will be based on collaborative robotics, with a ... -
Robot pain: a speculative review of its functions
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016-05)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessGiven the scarce bibliography dealing explicitly with robot pain, this chapter has enriched its review with related research works about robot behaviours and capacities in which pain could play a role. It is shown that all ... -
Coordinating model predictive control of transport and supply water systems
(Springer, 2015)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis book aims at stimulating discussion between researchers working on state of the art approaches for operational control and design of transport of water on the one hand and researchers working on state of the art ...
