Visual control through narrow passages for an omnidirectional wheeled robot
(IEEE, 2022)
Robotic systems are gradually replacing human
intervention in dangerous facilities to improve human safety
and prevent risky situations. In this domain, our work addresses
the problem of autonomous crossing narrow ...
Towards a reactive grasping system for an industrial robot arm
(IEEE, 1999-11)
As robots are being increasingly called to operate out of well-structured environments, our contribution focuses in the grasp determination in unknown objects, vision being the exclusive mode of perception. Two strategies ...
Wireless HROV control with compressed visual feedback over an acoustic link
(IEEE, 2017-06)
This paper presents the current state of the devel-
opment of a Wireless HROV (Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle
HROV), providing feedback of both, camera and telemetry data
to the operator, over an ...
Progressive image compression and transmission with region of interest in underwater robotics
(IEEE, 2017-06)
The increasing demand for underwater robotic intervention systems around the world in several application domains requires more versatile and inexpensive systems. By using a wireless communication system, supervised ...
Increasing underwater manipulation autonomy using segmentation and visual tracking
(IEEE, 2017-06)
The present research in underwater robotics aims to increase the autonomy of manipulation operations in fields such as archaeology or biology, that cannot afford costly underwater interventions using traditional Remote ...
Autonomous underwater grasping using multi-view laser reconstruction
(IEEE, 2017-06)
Autonomous manipulation in underwater scenarios is a highly complex task which is still poorly studied, but with a growing interest in the last years. Two of the main phases of this problem are the detection and characterization ...
A benchmarking study on single image dehazing techniques for underwater autonomous vehicles
(IEEE, 2017-06)
Enhancing the underwater images is of utmost importance for autonomous underwater vehicles. This kind of robots usually have to deal with highly degraded images from which it is extremely difficult to accurately find, ...
Let’s Talk about k-NN for Indoor Positioning: Myths and Facts in RF-based Fingerprinting
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-09-25)
Microsoft proposed RADAR in 2000, the first indoor positioning system based on Wi-Fi fingerprinting. Since then, the indoor research community has worked not only to improve the base estimator but also on finding an optimal ...

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are key disciplines for the education of new generations in the modern digital world, and for the economic growth of developing countries. Access to computing resources in ...
A distributed architecture for enabling autonomous underwater intervention missions
(IEEE, 2010)
This work introduces the main aspects related with a
new architecture defined for an ongoing research project named
RAUVI (i.e. Reconfigurable AUV for Intervention Missions). Two
initially independent architectures for ...
