  • Learning-based planner for unknown object dexterous manipulation using ANFIS 

    Sheikhsamad, Mohammad; Suárez Feijóo, Raúl; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan (2024-06-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Dexterous manipulation of unknown objects performed by robots equipped with mechanical hands represents a critical challenge. The difficulties arise from the absence of a precise model of the manipulated objects, unpredictable ...
  • Uncalibrated, unified and unsupervised specular-aware photometric stereo 

    Estévez Graña, Pablo; Agudo Martínez, Antonio (Springer, 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper we present a variational approach to simultaneously recover the 3D reconstruction, reflectance, lighting and specularities of an object, all of them, from a set of RGB images. The approach works in an ...
  • Context attention: human motion prediction using context information and deep learning attention models 

    Laplaza Galindo, Javier; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Springer, 2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    This work proposes a human motion prediction model for handover operations. The model uses a multi-headed attention architecture to process the human skeleton data together with contextual data from the operation. This ...
  • The semanticity of catalan words: quantitative linguistics in the era of large language models 

    Catala Roig, Neus; Casas Fernández, Bernardino; Hernández Fernández, Antonio (Dykinson, 2024-07)
    Part of book or chapter of book
    Open Access
    The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has significantly transformed both theoretical and applied linguistics, raising a profound debate within linguistics. These models, such as GPT (Generative Pre-trained ...
  • Knowledge-based execution configuration of behavior trees 

    Ruiz Celada, Oriol; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan; Suárez Feijóo, Raúl (2024-05-13)
    Research report
    Open Access
    Automated planning is commonly used to obtain plans to solve particular tasks. To execute the plans, Behavior Trees (BTs) have emerged as a popular execution architecture due to their reactivity and modularity. Configuring ...

    Article
    Open Access
    En el contexto educativo, las graduaciones representan un momento culminante, un oasis de alegría, regocijo y satisfacción tras el arduo camino del aprendizaje. Este evento final, extático, no solo marca el fin de una etapa ...
  • Anàlisi comparativa de sistemes de resposta interactiva a classe 

    Ardila Arroyo, Manuel; Hernández Fernández, Antonio (2024-07)
    Research report
    Restricted access - author's decision
    Els Sistemes de Resposta Interactiva fomenten la participació a classe, poden motivar els alumnes i, per tant, millorar el seu aprenentatge. L’ús de les tecnologies a les classes és avui dia tema qüestionat en la comunitat ...
  • 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 ...
  • User factors affecting the use of digital services in five European regions and countries 

    Goodman-Deane, Joy; Waller, Sam; Bradley, Mike D.; Clarkson, P.J.; Lazzarini, Boris; Roca Bosch, Elisabet; Gaggi, Silvia (Nature, 2024-05-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Digitalisation has great potential to reduce costs, improve access and enhance user experience. However, it could also increase inequality, with some people struggling to access and use digital services. It is important ...
  • Towards transferring tactile-based continuous force control policies from simulation to robot 

    Lach, Luca Michael; Haschke, Robert; Tateo, Davide; Peters, Jan; Ritter, Helge; Borràs Sol, Júlia; Torras, Carme (2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The advent of tactile sensors in robotics has sparked many ideas on how robots can leverage direct contact measurements of their environment interactions to improve manipulation tasks. An important line of research in this ...
  • Back to MLP: a simple baseline for human motion prediction 

    Guo, Wen; Du, Yuming; Shen, Xi; Lepetit, Vincent; Alameda-Pineda, Xavier; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This paper tackles the problem of human motion prediction, consisting in forecasting future body poses from historically observed sequences. State-of-the-art approaches provide good results, however, they rely on deep ...
  • Visual semantic relatedness dataset for image captioning 

    Sabir, Ahmed; Moreno-Noguer, Francesc; Padró, Lluís (2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Modern image captioning system relies heavily on extracting knowledge from images to capture the concept of a static story. In this paper, we propose a textual visual context dataset for captioning, in which the publicly ...
