GARTHIM. Remote Reinforcement Learning for Mobile Robots Connected to Internet

Olfaction is a valuable source of information about the environment that has not been sufficiently exploited in mobile robotics yet. We claim that data provided by e-noses may have an important added-value when combined with other sensing modalities (particularly, vision), and also when olfaction is integrated into the robot high-level processes. This project aims at…

MOVECARE aims at supporting the independent living of the elders at home; monitoring their daily activities while promoting their cognitive, physical, and social activities. The MAPIR group is the leader of one of the workpackages of the project with the goal of enhancing the Giraff robot, turning it into an autonomous actor within the MOVECARE…

This project addresses the remote control of mobile robots in situations where some components of the system are non-deterministic in time or incompletely modelled. These components include the communication network, the robot hardware and the software used in all the parts of the system (operating systems, middleware, applications). The fundamental problem with unpredictable components is…

Una de las operaciones que habitualmente deben realizar los técnicos durante la perforación de un túnel, y en general en cualquier obra, es el replanteo. Replantear tiene por objeto trasladar fielmente al terreno las dimensiones y formas indicadas en la documentación técnica de la obra. Para el caso particular de la construcción de túneles, mediante el replanteo…

Despite the significant progress in mobile robotics in the last years there are still major technical questions to be solved before having real autonomous robots at home. This project addresses some of them which, being not exclusive for this kind of scenario, acquire particular relevance here because of the importance of interacting with (non-expert) humans,…

The Giraff+ project aims at developing a system consisting of a network of home sensors that can be automatically configured to collect data for a range of monitoring services; a semi-autonomous telepresence robot; a sophisticated context recognition system that can give high-level and long term interpretations of the collected data and respond to certain events;…
