    Article
    Open Access
    Background/Objectives: Studies using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have revealed that individuals recovering from COVID-19 have a reduced retinal vascular density (VD) and larger foveal avascular zones ...
  • Deformable surface reconstruction via Riemannian metric preservation 

    Barbany Mayor, Oriol; Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme (2024-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Estimating the pose of an object from a monocular image is a fundamental inverse problem in computer vision. Due to its ill-posed nature, solving this problem requires incorporating deformation priors. In practice, many ...
  • Controlled Gaussian process dynamical models with application to robotic cloth manipulation 

    Amadio, Fabio; Delgado Guerrero, Juan Antonio; Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme (Springer, 2023-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    Over the last years, significant advances have been made in robotic manipulation, but still, the handling of non-rigid objects, such as cloth garments, is an open problem. Physical interaction with non-rigid objects is ...
  • IMU-based systems for upper limb kinematic analysis in clinical applications: a systematic review 

    Favata, Alessandra; Gallart Agut, Roger; Pàmies Vilà, Rosa; Torras, Carme; Font Llagunes, Josep Maria (2024-08-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Wearable inertial sensors have undergone great development offering an easy approach to track physical activity for both athletes and for the general public. Their immense potential to assess motion impairment in clinical ...
  • Sensitivity analysis and calibration for a two-dimensional state-space model of metal hydride storage tanks based on experimental data 

    Chen, Mingrui; Batlle Arnau, Carles; Escachx Estévez, Bryan; Costa Castelló, Ramon; Na, Jing (Elsevier, 2024-06-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper, a state-space model of a metal hydride tank is formulated and analyzed in detail. Firstly, a three-dimensional state-space model of the metal hydride tank is simplified by assuming that the tank temperature ...
  • Els reptes de la robòtica assistencial: memòria llegida per l'acadèmica electa Dra. Carme Torras i Genís, a l'acte de la seva recepció el dia 16 de febrer de 2017 

    Torras, Carme (2017)
    Article
    Open Access
    Els robots ja no estan confinats a les fàbriques, sinó que els anirem trobant cada vegada més en entorns urbans, socials i assistencials. Per arribar a ser companys de feina eficaços i assistents útils, han d’estar dotats ...
  • Gaussian-process-based robot learning from demonstration 

    Arduengo García, Miguel; Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Lobo Prat, Joan; Sentis, Luis; Torras, Carme (Springer, 2023-02-22)
    Article
    Open Access
    Learning from demonstration allows to encode task constraints from observing the motion executed by a human teacher. We present a Gaussian-process-based learning from demonstration (LfD) approach that allows robots to learn ...
  • A novel collision model for inextensible textiles and its experimental validation 

    Coltraro, Franco; Amorós Torrent, Jaume; Alberich Carramiñana, Maria; Torras, Carme (Elsevier, 2024-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this work, we introduce a collision model specifically tailored for the simulation of inextensible textiles. The model considers friction, contacts, and inextensibility constraints all at the same time without any ...
  • Benchmarking the sim-to-real gap in cloth manipulation 

    Blanco Mulero, David; Barbany Mayor, Oriol; Alcan, Gokhan; Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme; Kyrki, Ville (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    Realistic physics engines play a crucial role for learning to manipulate deformable objects such as garments in simulation. By doing so, researchers can circumvent challenges such as sensing the deformation of the object ...
  • LayerNet: high-resolution semantic 3D reconstruction of clothed people 

    Corona Puyane, Enric; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem; Pons-Moll, Gerard; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc (2024-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper we introduce SMPLicit, a novel generative model to jointly represent body pose, shape and clothing geometry; and LayerNet, a deep network that given a single image of a person simultaneously performs detailed ...
  • Online estimation of the state of charge and state of health of a vanadium redox flow battery
