    The population growth rate has increased, leading to a need for new technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to expand crop production and growth. UAVs are used in mapping, spraying, planting, crop monitoring, ...
  • Set-based estimation of battery end of discharge for electric vehicles 

    Zhang, Shuang; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Ifqir, Sara (Elsevier, 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This paper proposes a robust end-of-discharge prognosis procedure for the battery system of electric vehicles. As the state-of-charge of the battery system is dependent on an unmeasurable state of the vehicle lateral ...
  • Nodal hydraulic head estimation through Unscented Kalman Filter for data-driven leak localization in water networks 

    Romero Ben, Luis; Irofti, Paul; Stoican, Florin; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç (Elsevier, 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, we present a nodal hydraulic head estimation methodology for water distribution networks (WDN) based on an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) scheme with application to leak localization. The UKF refines an initial ...
  • H8 control experiments for increasing H2 purity in high-pressure alkaline electrolyzers 

    David, Martín; Bianchi, Fernando Daniel; Ocampo-Martínez, Carlos; Sánchez Peña, Ricardo Salvador (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, an H8 control strategy is implemented in a prototype alkaline electrolyzer to maintain equalized the liquid levels in the separations chambers while following a pressure reference. The aim is to minimize the ...
  • How do people intend to disclose personal information to a social robot in public spaces? 

    Aryania, Azra; Huertas Garcia, Rubén; Forgas Coll, Santiago; Angulo Bahón, Cecilio; Alenyà Ribas, Guillem (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Social robots interacting with people in public spaces may access and collect their personal information, which raises privacy concerns regarding the disclosure of personal information. This paper aims to investigate factors ...

    La OMS estima que anualmente 3,2 millones de personas mueren prematuramente a causa de la contaminación intra domiciliaria. Nepal es de los países más afectados, especialmente entre mujeres y niños. AWASUKA es un programa ...
  • Non-linear distributed MPC coordination of autonomous vehicles using optimality condition decomposition 

    Facerías Pelegrí, Marc; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Stancu, Alexandru (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, a novel non-linear distributed MPC coordination scheme for autonomous vehicles based on the Optimality Condition Decomposition (OCD) algorithm is proposed. As result, a local planner for each vehicle is ...
  • Leak learning for graph-based state interpolation in water distribution networks 

    Romero Ben, Luis; Cembrano Gennari, Gabriela; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Graph-based state interpolation (GSI) is a state-of-the-art state reconstruction technique that operates over water distribution networks (WDN). This method retrieves the complete hydraulic state (nodal heads) of the network ...
  • An encrypted model predictive control strategy for resilience operations 

    Franzè, Giuseppe; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Tedesco, Francesco (2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, a resilient model predictive control architecture is proposed for constrained cloud-based networked control systems subject to false data injections on both the controller-to-actuator and sensor-to-controller ...
  • Anticipation and proactivity: unraveling both concepts in human-robot interaction through a handover example 

    Domínguez Vidal, José Enrique; Sanfeliu Cortés, Alberto (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    While robots have advanced in understanding their environments, collaborative tasks demand a deeper comprehension of human intentions to mitigate uncertainty. Anticipatory and proactive behaviours are pivotal in enhancing ...
  • Quadrotor control using a multilayer MPC-MHE scheme based on LPV and feedback linearization approaches 

    Achraf, Senoussi; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Boumehraz, Mohamed (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
