Estudio del Control de Admisión en los Protocolos de Comunicación Flexible Time-Triggered y Audio Video Bridging
La industria ha mostrado un interés creciente en usar Ethernet como protocolo para sistemas empotrados distribuidos. También hay mayor interés en el uso de aplicaciones multimedia. Las aplicaciones multimedia y las de control tradicional deben coexistir, generando una...
Visual Control of an AUV for Multi-Robot Intervention Tasks
In the last decades, robots have been widely used to explore areas hard to reach for humans. Underwater environments fall into this category, since their operating conditions can be considered risky to carry out missions by divers, specially when the mission area is...

Multi-Robot Coalitions Formation with Deadlines: Complexity Analysis and Solutions
Multi-robot task allocation is one of the main problems to address in order to design a multi-robot system, very especially when robots form coalitions that must carry out tasks before a deadline. A lot of factors affect the performance of these systems and among...
Vision-based Corrosion Detection Assisted by a Micro-Aerial Vehicle in a Vessel Inspection Application
Sensors | Free Full-Text | Vision-Based Corrosion Detection Assisted by a Micro-Aerial Vehicle in a Vessel Inspection Application Vessel maintenance requires periodic visual inspection of the hull in order to detect typical defective situations of steel structures...
USBL integration and experimental assessment in a multisensor EKF-based AUV navigation approach
This Master’s Thesis details the practical implantation of an acoustic positioning and communication system in an autonomous underwater vehicle used for research purposes. The implementation has been followed by the evaluation of the system performance. Both, in...
