  • Ordinal inverse reinforcement learning applied to robot learning with small data 

    Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Over the last decade, the ability to teach actions to robots in a user-friendly way has gained relevance, and a practical way of teaching robots a new task is to use Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL). In IRL, an expert ...
  • Mixtures of controlled Gaussian processes for dynamical modeling of deformable objects 

    Xu Zheng, Ce; Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Sentis, Luis; Torras, Carme (Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR), 2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Control and manipulation of objects is a highly relevant topic in Robotics research. Although significant advances have been made over the manipulation of rigid bodies, the manipulation of non-rigid objects is still ...
  • Search for nuclearites with the KM3NeT detector 

    Ageron, M.; Aiello, S; Alshamsi, Mohammed; Ambrosone, Antonio; André, Michel; Androulakis, Giorgos; Anghinolfi, Marco; Anton, Gisela; Ardid Ramírez, Miguel; Aublin, J.; Bagatelas, Christos; Gibergans Bàguena, José (arXiv, 2021)

    Strange quark matter (SQM) is a hypothetical type of matter composed of almost equal quantities of up, down and strange quarks. In [1], Edward Witten presented the SQM as a denser and more stable matter that could represent ...
  • Mutual information weighing for probabilistic movement primitives 

    Colomé Figueras, Adrià; Torras, Carme (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Reinforcement Learning (RL) of trajectory data has been used in several fields, and it is of relevance in robot motion learning, in which sampled trajectories are run and their outcome is evaluated with a reward value. The ...
  • The teaching involvement of the users, the units and the whole UPC measured through the Moodle indicators of the virtual platform Atenea. An extension proposal of Atenea’s BI platform 

    Prat Farran, Joana d'Arc; Llorens García, Ariadna; Alier Forment, Marc (European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Atenea is the Moodle virtual platform of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) with about 31000 users and 5000 active subjects from 16 school centers. Atenea indicators give information on the teaching activity ...
  • Spanning ratio of shortest paths in weighted square tessellations 

    Bose, Prosenjit; Esteban Pascual, Guillermo; Orden Martin, David; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Continuous 2-dimensional space is often discretized by considering a grid of weighted square cells. In this work we study how well a weighted tessellation approximates the space, with respect to shortest paths. In particular, ...
  • On approximating shortest paths in weighted triangular tessellations 

    Bose, Prosenjit; Esteban Pascual, Guillermo; Orden Martin, David; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (Springer, 2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We study the quality of weighted shortest paths when a continuous 2-dimensional space is discretized by a weighted triangular tessellation. In order to evaluate how well the tessellation approximates the 2-dimensional ...
  • Continuous mean distance of a weighted graph 

    Garijo Royo, Delia; Marquez Pérez, Alberto; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We study the concept of the continuous mean distance of a weighted graph. For connected unweighted graphs, the mean distance can be defined as the arithmetic mean of the distances between all pairs of vertices. This parameter ...
  • Incorporating a study and research path into a statistics course for engineering students 

    Freixanet de la Iglesia, Maria Josep; Alsina Aubach, Montserrat; Bosch Casabò, Marianna (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper describes a teaching proposal in engineering education based on the introduction of a study and research path (SRP) in the subject of Statistics of a Bachelor’s Degree in ICT Systems Engineering. The conditions ...
  • How does noise affect our health? Analysing a project-based activity in statistics at secondary level 

    Freixanet de la Iglesia, Maria Josep; Alsina Aubach, Montserrat; Bosch Casabò, Marianna (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Teaching statistics through projects brings to life in the classroom aspects of working with data that are not usually part of traditional paper-and-pencil activities. There exists a generalized agreement about the positive ...
