Abstract<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Mobile robotics has experienced an important proliferation in the recent days, with many fields of application available. A great variety of different mobile robots are present in different sectors of society, most of which are designated as autonomous. This term implies that the robot manages to operate itself, without any special supervision. To that purpose, the robot must be enabled to gather information from the environment in order to build its own understanding, which yields a map estimation. The scope of this research is focused on the following aspect: the map building process with visual information from the environment. This process entails a non-trivial task, since it poses a challenge when it comes to obtaining a simultaneous estimation of the localization of the robot, and also of the map. This leads to one of the most essential paradigms in such context: the problem of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping). Under this framework, digital cameras have arisen as a promising alternative. Therefore, in this work we propose a new map model, embedded in a visual SLAM approach, which is solely based on the use of omnidirectional images acquired with a monocular camera.<\/p>\n Ponente invitado<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Dr. D.

With these two new robotic skills, industrial robots become really collaborative partners, by abandoning the classical closed fences and working near human operators. This talk will firstly introduce the new research lines that are being developed in the academic world in order to make industrial robots more flexible and human-aware. Secondly, the research works of the speaker in these two fields during his PhD and postdoc will be described. Finally he will enumerate his current research topics about force control of robotic manipulators, robotic manipulation of deformable objects, bi-arm coordination and physical human-robot interaction in the context of several national and European projects.<\/p>\n Ponente invitado<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n (18 de Diciembre de 2017)<\/p>\n Planificaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n El lunes 18 de Diciembre de 2017 a las 17:30 h., se impartir\u00e1 la conferencia \u00abHuman-Robot Interaction Strategies for Assitance and Rehabilitation\u00bb por el Prof. Dr. D.

La conferencia tendr\u00e1 lugar en el Aula 2.2 del edificio ALTET.<\/p>\n Abstract<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), colloquially known as drones, are flying devices able to perform programmed flights or being remotely controlled. During the past few years, they have gained international relevance, being capable of performing a wide range of tasks. For instance, planned missions can be defined to supervise farmlands, deliver packages to remote locations, or contributing to create delay-tolerant networks in the scope of Smart Cities. Moreover, by adopting adequate algorithms, it is possible to control the flight of a group of UAVs acting as a swarm, or dynamically create an aerial network infrastructure in a dynamic, on-demand fashion, among many other possibilities. This talk first introduces the main types of multicopters, their components, and their mode of operation, followed by an overview of the main applications these novel flying devices are able to offer.<\/p>\n![\"carnet_reducida\"](\"http:\/\/masterrobotica.umh.es\/files\/2018\/01\/carnet_reducida.jpg\")
