      Sales Gil, Jorge; Martí Avilés, José Vicente; Marin, Raul; Sanz, Pedro J; Cervera, Enric Hindawi Publishing Corporation (2016)
      Technology has recently been developed which offers an excellent opportunity to design systems with the ability to help people in their own houses. In particular, assisting elderly people in their environments is something ...

    • openAccess   GPU-Accelerated Vision for Robots: Improving System Throughput Using OpenCV and CUDA 

      Cervera, Enric IEEE (2020-06)
      OpenCV is an open source computer vision and machine learning library for C/C++/Python available for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android platforms. It contains low-level image processing functions as well as high-level ...

    • openAccess   Multi-Sensor Person Following in Low-Visibility Scenarios 

      Sales Gil, Jorge; Marin, Raul; Cervera, Enric; Rodríguez, Sergio; Pérez Soler, Javier MDPI (2010)
      Person following with mobile robots has traditionally been an important research topic. It has been solved, in most cases, by the use of machine vision or laser rangefinders. In some special circumstances, such as a smoky ...

    • openAccess   Particle-filter-based Pose Estimation from Controlled Motion with Application to Visual Servoing 

      Hafez, Abdul; Cervera, Enric InTech (2014)
      In this paper, we present a Bayesian algorithm based on particle filters to estimate the camera pose for vision-based control. The state model is represented as a relative camera pose between the current and initial ...

    • openAccess   ROSLab Sharing ROS Code Interactively With Docker and JupyterLab 

      Cervera, Enric; del Pobil, Angel P. IEEE (2019-07-15)
      The success of the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the advance of open source ideas have radically changed and improved the experience of sharing software among members of the robotics community. Yet the lack of a suitable ...

    • openAccess   The Experience of the Robot Programming Network Initiative 

      Casañ, Gustavo Adolfo; Cervera, Enric Hindawi (2018-06)
      Since its creation in 2014, the Robot Programming Network (RPN) has been an environment to learn and teach robotics to the general public, which has also allowed us to learn about education. In this paper, we aim to not ...

    • openAccess   The on-line teaching of robot visual servoing 

      Pérez Vidal, Carlos; García, Nicolás; Cervera, Enric; Gracia Marco, Luis; Sabater, José María Manchester University Press (2011)
      Visual servoing uses the visual information provided by cameras to control the movement of a robotic system. This paper presents an international on-line course aimed at BSc, MSc and PhD students in this subject. The ...

    • openAccess   The robot programming network 

      Cervera, Enric; Martinet, Philippe; Marin, Raul; Moughlbay, Amine A.; del Pobil, Angel P.; Alemany, Jaume; Esteller Curto, Roger; Casañ, Gustavo Adolfo Springer Netherlands (2016)
      The Robot Programming Network (RPN) is an initiative for creating a network of robotics education laboratories with remote programming capabilities. It consists of both online open course materials and online servers that ...
