"Patients that suffer Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) undergo a procedure called Pulmonary Rehabilitation that helps them to improve disease prognosis. Pulmonary Rehabilitation consists of different physical...

"Cluster space control is a method of multirobot formation keeping that considers a group of robots to be a single entity, defining state variables to represent characteristics of the group, such as position, orientation...

"Within the Cluster Space robot formation control scheme, a new approach is presented where a cascaded control scheme is proposed. On one hand, a simple secondary (inner) loop is used to control the formation’s velocit...

"This thesis investigates whether a low-cost brushed DC motor can be used reliably in an actively controlled dual-reel actuation system despite the thermal and energetic challenges associated with motorization. Three low...

In this thesis, a novel approach to automatically install threaded inserts into additive manufactured parts is developed and validated. Such an approach is highly relevant in the context of process automation and product...

In this paper, a trajectory tracking control for a nonholonomic mobile robot subjected to uncertainties and disturbances in the kinematic model is proposed. An adaptive variable structure controller based on the sliding ...

In this paper we explore different situations in which collaborative agents have to communicate among themselves using standard interaction protocols. We will propose how to process these interactions in parallel without...

"In this work, concepts of cluster space approach are extended through a novel formulation, namely Tree Organization Method (TOM), to systematically arrange formations of mobile robots. TOM consists in analyzing the =-ro...
