The design of a robot that is capable of operating autonomously in a changing and unstructured scenario is based on complex software architec- tures, in which perceptual and actuation components, as well as deliberative ones, ...

The detection of a person’s eyes is a basic task in applications as important as iris recognition in biometric identification or fatigue detection in driving assistance systems. Current commercial and research systems use ...

One of the main challenges faced by iris recognition systems is to be able to work with people in motion, where the sensor is at an increasing distance (more than 1 m) from the person. The ultimate goal is to make the ...

The Mediterranean basin has an impressive amount of millenarian urban structures which have been modelled along centuries. Unfortunately, they are sometimes damaged due to both the passage of time as well as bad preservation ...

Assistive environments for daily living (Ambient Assisted Living, AAL) include the deployment of sensors and certain actuators in the home or residence where the person to be cared for lives so that, with the help of the ...

En esta obra se ofrece al estudiante información de referencia sobre las distintas tecnologías que conforman el amplio área de Ia Electrónica. El objetivo es facilitar al alumno los conocimientos básicos relativos a los ...

This paper describes a robotics cognitive architecture for social robots named CORTEX. This architecture integrates di fferent levels of abstraction (from basic geometry to high-level predicates) into a unique Deep Space ...

En esta ponencia se analiza el mecanismo de interiorización de la información referente a personas y la interacción con las mismas implementado para el robot Gualzru.

It is well established that the units of attention on human vision are not merely spatial but closely related to perceptual objects. This implies a strong relationship between segmentation and attention processes. This ...

Plankton are an important component of life on Earth. Since the 19th century, scientists have attempted to quantify species distributions using many techniques, such as direct counting, sizing, and classification with ...
