Origin and framework of the programme
The doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision (ARV) was established in 2006 by combining the Advanced Automation and Robotics programme of the Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering (IOC) and the Control, Vision and Robotics programme of the Department of Automatic Control (ESAII), both of which had received quality awards from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. The merger was the result of an increasing affinity and convergence in the content and activity of the two programmes and served as an opportunity to adapt to the new system for official postgraduate programmes within the framework of the European Higher Education Area. From the first year that the new doctoral programme was offered, it was recognised with a quality award from the Ministry of Education and Science (code MCD2007-00150, years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). The programme has also been granted the Pathway to Excellence award by the Ministry of Education (code MEE2011-0453, valid from 2011-2012 to 2013-2014).
The doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision provides a framework for students to complete doctoral theses in these fields, which are of vital importance in traditional industry and many service applications. Work is carried out mainly under the supervision of professors associated with the programme, using research facilities made available by the two units responsible for the degree (IOC and ESAII); the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI), which collaborates very actively with the programme; and the research groups involved.
The doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision is a natural continuation of the master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics (a UPC programme taught in English). Students who complete this master’s degree are therefore eligible for direct admission to the doctoral programme. Students with degrees in related fields may also be considered for admission. The academic committee will require that students admitted with other degrees complete specific bridging courses from the master’s degree in Automatic Control and Robotics (selected on a case-by-case basis) to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills needed to conduct research and complete a doctoral thesis in one of the areas covered by the programme.

Automatic control and robotics play an increasingly important role in contemporary society, from both a social perspective (habits and greater convenience and quality of life) and in terms of their direct and indirect economic significance. Consequently, research and development in this field is of vital importance and marks a clear difference between developed and developing countries. In the latter, products are marketed, or in some cases manufactured (basically due to lower production costs), but there is usually no know-how or capacity to innovate or produce graduates qualified to work in R&D, and this is where the difference lies. Producing professionals who are capable of innovating and working in highly specialised areas with the latest technologies constitutes a clear and direct contribution to our society. Moreover, all developed countries offer doctoral degrees equivalent to the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision.

Aim of the programme
The aim of the programme is to provide students with rigorous training that builds on knowledge acquired in previous stages of their education and prepares them to undertake a career in scientific and technological research and to innovate in highly specialised areas on advanced aspects of automatic control, robotics and computer vision. The goal is therefore for doctoral students to develop the ability to find innovative solutions by drawing on solid theoretical knowledge and applying new technologies.

General information

Access profile

The ideal entrance qualification is a master’s degree that covers areas related to the subject areas of the programme: automatic control, robotics and computer vision. (Degree names vary depending on the applicant's country of origin and the university where they completed their previous studies.) Applicants who have completed the master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics offered by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya qualify for direct admission to the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision. Applicants who hold a science degree (e.g. in industrial engineering, electronics, mechanics, electromechanics or informatics) may also be admitted to the programme. Students admitted with these qualifications may be required to complete bridging courses, which will be specified by the academic committee for the programme.

Output profile

Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research (Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies):

a) A systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field.
b) An ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of research or creation.
c) An ability to contribute to pushing back the frontiers of knowledge through original research.

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years.

When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the requirement to complete this minimum period of study.

Temporary disability leave and leave for the birth of a child, adoption or fostering for the purposes of adoption, temporary foster care, risk during pregnancy or infant feeding, gender violence and any other situation provided for in current regulations do not count towards these periods. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which must inform the Doctoral School.

Doctoral candidates may request periods of temporary withdrawal from the programme for up to a total of two years. Requests must be justified and addressed to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether or not to grant the candidate's request.

Extension of studies
If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

Access, admission and registration

Access profile

The ideal entrance qualification is a master’s degree that covers areas related to the subject areas of the programme: automatic control, robotics and computer vision. (Degree names vary depending on the applicant's country of origin and the university where they completed their previous studies.) Applicants who have completed the master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics offered by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya qualify for direct admission to the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision. Applicants who hold a science degree (e.g. in industrial engineering, electronics, mechanics, electromechanics or informatics) may also be admitted to the programme. Students admitted with these qualifications may be required to complete bridging courses, which will be specified by the academic committee for the programme.

Access requirements

As a rule, applicants must hold a Spanish bachelor's degree or equivalent and a Spanish master's degree or equivalent, provided they have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on the two degrees (Royal Decree 43/2015, of 2 February).

Applicants who meet one or more of the following conditions are also eligible for admission:

a) Holders of official Spanish degrees or equivalent Spanish qualifications, provided they have passed 300 ECTS credits in total and they can prove they have reached Level 3 in the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education.
b) Holders of degrees awarded in foreign education systems in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), which do not require homologation, who can prove that they have reached Level 7 in the European Qualifications Framework, provided the degree makes the holder eligible for admission to doctoral studies in the country in which it was awarded.
c) Holders of degrees awarded in a country that does not belong to the EHEA, which do not require homologation, on the condition that the University is able to verify that the degree is of a level equivalent to that of official university master's degrees in Spain and that it makes the holder eligible for admission to doctoral studies in the country in which it was awarded.
d) Holders of another doctoral degree.
e) Holders of an official university qualification who, having been awarded a post as a trainee in the entrance examination for specialised medical training, have successfully completed at least two years of training leading to an official degree in a health sciences specialisation.

Note 1: Regulations for access to doctoral studies for individuals with degrees in bachelor's, engineering, or architecture under the system prior to the implementation of the EHEA (CG 47/02 2014).

Note 2: Agreement number 64/2014 of the Governing Council approving the procedure and criteria for assessing the academic requirements for admission to doctoral studies with non-homologated foreign degrees (CG 25/03 2014).

Legal framework

Admission criteria and merits assessment

There are no specific admission requirements for the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision beyond those that apply under current legislation. However, bear in mind that the academic committee for the programme reviews the academic records of all applicants to assess how well their academic background matches the ideal entrance qualifications indicated above. Applicants should have training equivalent to that which students receive on the UPC master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics. Graduates of this UPC master’s degree qualify for direct admission to the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision.

The academic committee for the programme will issue an assessment of applications for admission. The main criteria considered are:

a) Relevance of previous studies and the applicant's academic record (50%)
b) Other merits (experience in research work, publications, proficiency in languages, motivation and reasons for embarking on the doctoral degree) (50%)

When appropriate, the academic committee may require that a student take bridging courses as a condition of admission.

Training complements

The academic committee for the programme determines what bridging courses applicants will have to take if admitted. When an applicant seeks admission with the backing of a professor on the programme who will act as their thesis supervisor, the professor concerned may recommend to the academic committee the bridging courses that they consider most appropriate to direct the doctoral student specifically towards topics related to their doctoral thesis work.

Additional training will be based primarily on subjects of the master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics. However, if there is sufficient justification, a student may take subjects included on other master's programmes or postgraduate courses. This may be deemed appropriate if there are subjects that are particularly relevant to the thesis work an applicant plans to undertake (when this work has been defined at the time of admission). Applicants who have completed a UPC master's degree in Automatic Control and Robotics qualify for direct admission to the doctoral programme in Automatic Control, Robotics and Vision and will not be required to take any bridging courses.

Enrolment period for new doctoral students

The enrolment period for new doctoral students will be in September.

More information at the registration section for new doctoral students

Enrolment period

After the first year, the enrolment period for doctoral students will run from September to mid-October.

More information at the general registration section

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

More information at the PhD theses section

Permanence

The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is four years, counted from the date of first enrolment in the relevant programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is seven years from the date of first enrolment in the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited. To calculate these periods, the date of deposit is considered to be the date on which the thesis is made publicly available for review.

If a doctoral candidate has a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, the maximum period of study is six years for full-time students and nine years for part-time students.

If a doctoral candidate has not applied to deposit their thesis before the expiry of the deadlines specified in the previous section, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may, at the request of the doctoral candidate, authorise an extension of this deadline of one year under the conditions specified for the doctoral programme in question.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

  • The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate not having completed their annual enrolment or applied for a temporary interruption.
  • The doctoral candidate not having formalised annual enrolment on the day after the end of the authorisation to temporarily interrupt or withdraw from the programme.
  • The doctoral candidate receiving a negative reassessment after the deadline set by the academic committee of the doctoral programme to remedy the deficiencies that led to a previous negative assessment.
  • The doctoral candidate having been the subject of disciplinary proceedings leading to their suspension or permanent exclusion from the UPC.
  • A refusal to authorise the extensions applied for, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3 of these regulations.
  • The doctoral candidate not having submitted the research plan in the period established in Section 8.2 of these regulations.
  • The maximum period of study for the doctoral degree having ended, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 of these regulations.

Dismissal from the programme means that the doctoral candidate cannot continue studying at the UPC and that their academic record will be closed. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission, and the committee must reevaluate the candidate in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

A doctoral candidate who has been dismissed due to having exceeded the time limit for completing doctoral studies or due to an unsatisfactory assessment may not be Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Page 17 of 33 admitted to the same doctoral programme until at least two years have elapsed from the date of dismissal, as provided for in sections 3.4 and 9.2 of these regulations.

    Thesis abstract: This doctoral thesis develops and evaluates advanced human motion prediction models to improve human-robot interactions in handover and harvesting tasks. The research creates three unique datasets and utilizes pose detection algorithms and RGBD cameras for 3D reconstruction of human skeletons.A deep learning model based on Attention and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) is proposed to enhance prediction accuracy by integrating the robot’s end effector position. The research shows greater accuracy when considering the approach and pre-contact phases separately.Additionally, by including obstacles and human intentions in the models, prediction accuracy improves further, and a user study confirms this enhances interaction quality in terms of sociability, naturalness, and comfort. The thesis also investigates body gestures as a communication channel, finding users prefer gesture-based communication over traditional methods.In summary, the research significantly contributes to human-robot interaction by providing robust datasets and advanced prediction models, enhancing the naturalness and effectiveness of collaborative tasks.

    Thesis abstract: The main objective of this Thesis is to provide an algorithm for the robust identification of models in the form of a transfer function with interval parameters. The starting uncertain data are in the frequency domain; its representation will consist of bands of uncertainty, polygons or other flat figures in the complex plane.To reach the main objective of the work, firstly an extensive analysis of the mathematical tools and the characteristic measures of the candidate signals to excite the process is made. Different alternatives are studied to conveniently excite a process and it is verified that, whenever possible, it is necessary to apply band-limited harmonic signals to obtain information rich in spectral content. Thus, the model obtained will be able to represent the plant's behavior as faithfully as possible.Before proceeding to the robust identification itself, a historical review of nominal identification techniques is carried out. Emphasis is placed on the approach in the form of regressor of the problem. The approximation of the time delay of the plant and a method to decide the most suitable order for the model to be identified are studied.Given the inadequacy of the nominal model when looking at the data, it is proposed to incorporate uncertainty about the identified model in the form of interval parameters.The entire robustness study of the model pivots around Kharitonov's theorem, which assumes independence between the parameters of the polynomials. A chapter is dedicated to determining the frequency response of a transfer function with interval parameters based on this theorem.Within the algorithms proposed for robust identification, the work begins by extending the linear approach in parameters in the case of intervals. But this way of approaching the problem, despite presenting guarantees of convergence and optimality, shows an important fault when considering the frequency response of the identified model: it turns out to be insufficient to guarantee the inclusion of all observed data, since it omits part of the response when it establishes the restrictions of the problem.For this reason it is necessary to reformulate the problem as a non-linear optimization problem. The approach will have as its objective function to obtain the parameters of the model with the least dilation possible and that the response of the model adjusts in the most adapted way possible to the uncertain source data. The constraints will consider the property of inclusion of the data on the part of the model or vice versa. But these restrictions are given in the form of rules or in the form of a nested optimization problem. It is for this reason that it is necessary to properly condition the problem from the beginning.Since it is a non-convex optimization problem, without guarantee of a solution even though the appropriate order of the model is guessed, a previous study of stability and sensitivity is made to provide a seed and limits of the intervals to be found that ease to get the best possible solution.Throughout the Thesis there are application examples, synthetic and experimental, that show the wide scope of the proposed method and the diversity of plants on which it is applied.The thesis covers only linear, continuous and time-invariant (LTI) models. A future investigation would be to extend the results of this Thesis to the linear case with variable parameters (LPV). This would allow to put the interval coefficients of the polynomials of the identified transfer function as a function of one or several parameters that depend, for example, on the operating point of the plant.To avoid the inconvenience of the jumps caused by the restrictions in the form of rules in the optimization problem raised, it is proposed, as future work, to translate the rules as propositional logic.

    Thesis abstract: A critical challenge in the design of robots that operate while interacting with humans is to ensure mutual understanding, which contributes to build reliable human-robot interactions. It is an arduous task since interactive scenarios are often uncertain, exposing robots to exogenous situations that affect their ongoing activities. In those cases, robots shall perceive and recognize unexpected changes in the environment, represent and reason about them, and decide how to adapt to them. This will certainly modify robots' internal knowledge, and it is fair to assume that part of the new robot beliefs might be hidden from other agents such as humans. Hence, robots shall also be capable of communicating or explaining the relevant knowledge about those beliefs updates. In this context, this thesis investigates the use of ontologies as an integrative framework for the construction of robot explanations, particularly within interactive settings involving humans. To this end, the thesis starts formulating the scope of the relevant domain knowledge to conceptualize, and it continues proposing novel ontological models and methods for ontology-based robot explanation generation. The first part of the thesis discusses two main contributions: a systematic review and classification of the state-of-the-art that narrows down the target set of reality phenomena to be conceptualized, and the investigation and development of novel robot perception methods to extract from realistic robot experiences the common patterns of the target conceptualization. The second part discusses the two remaining contributions: ontological analysis and modeling of the target domain knowledge, and the design and development of algorithms to construct ontology-based robot explanations. Note that the different ontological models and algorithms were mainly validated in collaborative and adaptive robotic scenarios. However, they were conceived from a foundational perspective, and we think that their scientific value extrapolates to other application domains (e.g. assistive robotics). Overall, the scientific contributions of this thesis set a solid foundational basis for the ontology-based explainable robots domain, boosting the design of trustworthy interactive robots.

    Thesis abstract: Clinical pathologists focus on detailed morphological analysis of peripheral blood (PB) cells for the recognition of abnormal cells and contribute to the diagnosis of hematological diseases. While this traditional method is often precise, it requires significant expertise, is time-consuming, and is subject to variability, especially when discerning subtle cell characteristics. In light of these challenges, this dissertation proposes the innovative use of deep learning, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), to add objectivity in morphological examination of PB cells. The research is developed through a three-fold strategy. First, a novel GAN-based model standardizes PB cell image visualization across varied staining techniques. Second, optimized CNN architectures are tailored for precise classification of the selected PB cell types, with emphasis on reactive and malignant blood cells. Results indicate that the introduced Stain Normalization Model effectively manages staining variations while preserving cell morphology. Furthermore, CNN models, based on these normalized data, contribute significantly to the automatic recognition of malignant cells. And third, a modular GAN system generates synthetic PB images to enrich model training, particularly of low-prevalence cell data with special diagnostic interest.This research emphasizes the transformative impact of combining the expertise of clinical pathologists with advanced computational strategies. While these systems serve as potent support tools, it is imperative to note that the clinical pathologist retains the ultimate authority in decision-making. The fusion of traditional expertise and modern technology is a promising trend in the present and near future, enhancing both objectivity and efficiency. This study signifies an advance towards the establishment of an integrated system for an automated screening tool for hematological diseases.

    Thesis abstract: Nowadays, the environmental concerns for conventional fossil fuel-based power generation are transforming the energy landscape into a more sustainable system. To this end, distributed generation (DG) units have gradually become more important in modern energy systems with an increasing integration of renewable energy resources (RES). However, this transformation also implies new challenges for operating and controlling the network safely and efficiently, given the variability and intermittency inherent to these resources.Microgrids (MGs) are small-scale power systems that have emerged as promising solutions for integrating RES such as photovoltaic, wind turbines, fuel cells, biogas digestors, etc. However, given the heterogeneous nature of RES, power electronic devices are required to enable their integration into the AC systems. The incorporation of power converters increases the controllability of these resources but also brings new challenges regarding control and protection. In inverter-based AC MGs, the scope of this thesis, the DG units are interfaced with the MG by inverters, which require to be controlled to ensure the correct operation, stability, and voltage quality of the AC system. To solve these challenges, several inverter control approaches have been proposed in the state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, there remain significant challenges, limitations, and research gaps. In particular, the main shortcomings found in the state-of-the-art can be gathered into two main control areas: a) Power sharing and voltage regulation (Power management), and b) voltage unbalance compensation (Voltage quality).On one hand, power sharing and voltage regulation control approaches aim to ensure the voltage amplitude and frequency stability and its regulation within desired limits in islanded AC MGs. However, existing literature exhibits the following shortcomings: line impedance performance dependency, scalability issues, and control loop coupling. On the other hand, voltage unbalance compensation control approaches aim to increase the voltage quality of the MG. However, a lack of robustness and limitations on the place of compensation were found in the state-of-the-art strategies.This thesis aims to investigate novel control strategies to improve the power control performance and increase the voltage quality on inverter-based AC MGs, focusing on addressing the research gaps in the existing literature. The thesis is presented as a compendium of three peer-reviewed papers that collect the main contributions and results of the thesis.These papers propose three novel control approaches that outperform and overcome most of the identified state-of-the-art shortcomings and limitations. The main contributions of the thesis can be summarized as follows:On one hand, regarding power sharing and voltage regulation, the proposed approach exhibits the following key properties, a) the control performance is independent of the line impedance nature, b) scalability with respect to the number of inverters within the MG, and c) decoupling between the voltage regulation control loop and the power sharing control loop.On the other hand, regarding voltage unbalance compensation, the two proposed approaches exhibit the following outstanding properties, a) fair control effort distribution without control data exchange between inverters, b) robustness to connection and disconnection of inverters and loads, c) reduction of communication burden, and d) flexibility to compensate for multiple local/remote nodes.

    Thesis abstract: This research discusses elements to be considered for designing, developing, and validating a service robot that performs its task in different social environments. Due to the social focus of the provided services, technical considerations are demanded toaccomplish the task, and the acceptability of use for the people interacting with the robot.The first stage of the research considers previous cases on the implementation of service mobile robots, their analysis, and the motivation of how to solve their acceptability and use by people. The developmental part presents the technical and social considerations for implementing the CeCi (Computer Electronic Communication Interface) social robot. Two main problems of social robots and service robots in social environments currently on the market are addressed, which are the main focus of this research: First, their costs are not affordable for many companies, universities, or individuals in developing countries. The second is that their design is exclusively oriented to the functional part with a viewpoint inherent to the engineers who create them without considering the end users’ views, preferences, or requirements, especially for their social interaction. This last reason ends up causing a certain aversion to the use of this type of robot.In response to the issues raised, an affordable, low-cost prototype is proposed, starting from a commercial platform for research development and using open-source code. The robot design presented here is centered on the criteria and preferences of the end user, prioritizing acceptability for social interaction. This document details the selection process and hardware capabilities of the robot. Moreover, a programming section is provided to introduce the different software packages used and adapted for social interaction, the main functions implemented, as well as the new and original part of the proposal. A list of applications currently developed with the robot and possible applications for future research are discussed.As a final step, the complete implementation of the social robot is explained based on two design elements. The first element is the use of the design thinking methodology for the development and implementation of the robot. The second element, of a technical nature, is a previous taxonomy generated for defining socially-aware robot assistants. Therefore, in the construction process, special emphasis is placed on the realization of prototypes and their adjustment to the users’ preferences. Interviewswith users who were unaware of the robot’s capabilities were used to improve and validate the prototype. These prototypes and their evolution will be presented based on the adjustments performed. Beyond the users’ feedback, previous experiences exposed to the state of the art were considered for the evolution of this robot. The entire methodological process is validated with surveys, and results are presented as a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis for future improvements.

    Thesis abstract: Aerial manipulators, which commonly take the form of multirotors with attached robotic limbs, primarily employ their limbs for pure manipulation tasks and do not rely on them during aerial locomotion. Besides, their movement tends to be slow. This thesis aims to enhance an aerial manipulator’s agility by harnessing its limb’s capabilities to augment its overall motion. This objective involves investigating various modes of utilizing the limb: as a tail for aerial locomotion, as an arm for aerial manipulation, or as a leg for hybrid aerial-contact locomotion. The present thesis contributes to two specific domains: 1. Generation and control of agile motions for aerial manipulators, 2. Design and construction of a specialized aerial manipulator for executing agile motions.Generating agile motions requires predicting the movement of the robot considering its dynamics so that these dynamics can be used to favor the robot’s motion. Hence, we can achieve complex maneuvers with relative ease. Optimal control is a trajectory-generation technique that meets these requirements, and that is central to this thesis. We encode the robot’s tasks as cost functions of the optimal control problem (OCP) and use the whole-body dynamics as the constraints of the dynamic system. On the control side, to deploy such trajectories in a real robot, we use model predictive control (MPC) techniques, which is the closed-loop control extension of optimal control. To get the control command, an MPC controller solves the OCP in which we have encoded the agile trajectory, and then the controller applies the first command of the solution control trajectory. Thus, MPC requires solving an OCP at the control rate, i.e., within a few milliseconds. This forces us to use fast, specialized solvers based on the dynamic programming principle, such as differential dynamic programming (DDP). In their original form, these solvers cannot consider the control bounds. These bounds are important to create trajectories compatible with the real robot. To tackle this problem, in this thesis, we propose two DDP-based methods to consider the control bounds: one is based on a squashing function, and the other is based on a projection method. Even with these solvers, we face challenges in meeting the solving rate and are forced to reduce the MPC horizon. Reducing the MPC horizon implies that the MPC can only see a portion of the original OCP, possibly leaving out some of the tasks. This affects the predictive capability of the controller and compromises the accomplishment of the tasks, especially those that require an elaborate and dynamic maneuver. To overcome this difficulty, in this thesis, we propose to update, at each MPC iteration, the terminal cost function in the MPC with a function that encodes the part of the trajectory that remains unseen by the controller.Regarding robot design, deploying agile motions becomes difficult with existing aerial manipulators, which are generally big-size multirotor platforms with non-compliant, high-gear ratio limbs. In this thesis, we present Borinot, an open-source aerial robotic platform designed to research hybrid agile locomotion and manipulation using flight and contacts. This platform features an agile and powerful hexarotor that can be outfitted with torque-actuated limbs of diverse architecture, allowing for whole-body dynamic control. We present experiments with this robot showcasing different agile motions.In addition to the stated contributions, this thesis contributes in other areas required to operate the robot, such as a procedure for identifying the dynamical parameters based on factor-graph estimation or a hardware enhancement that allows for direct thrust control of Borinot’s rotors.

    Thesis abstract: This doctoral thesis explores the utilization of generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) seeking methods for evolutionary games over networks in designing optimization-based controllers for large-scale complex systems (LSCSs). The focus lies on population games, modeling strategic interactions among large populations of agents with bounded rationality. These games are deemed suitable for modeling large-scale optimization-based control problems either directly or by employing evolutionary dynamics models (EDMs) to update optimization variables. The concept of GNE emerges as a fitting solution for non-cooperative optimization-based control scenarios, where multiple subsystems maximize their utilities subject to coupling constraints. Consequently, this thesis frames optimization-based control as a GNE seeking problem and introduces novel game-theoretical methods for achieving GNEs in population games over networks. Applications in congestion games, charging coordination of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), dynamic resource allocation in solar collector fields, and residential demand response are discussed.The first part focuses on GNE seeking methods for population games under full information schemes, where non-local information estimation is not explicitly modeled. Two approaches are proposed: one dealing with capacity-constrained population games, introducing novel strategy revision protocols to ensure capacity constraint satisfaction, and another addressing population games with affine equality and convex inequality constraints, devising a payoff dynamics model (PDM) steering agents towards GNEs. Formal asymptotic stability guarantees are provided, and these methods are applied to design controllers for dynamic resource allocation in LSCSs.In contrast, the second part formulates GNE seeking methods for population games under partial information schemes, explicitly modeling non-local decision information estimation. It tackles reaching Nash equilibria without coupling constraints and achieving GNEs with affine equality constraints coupling multiple agents' decisions. Novel PDMs are formulated to estimate non-local information and compute dual Lagrange multipliers associated with coupling constraints. Asymptotic stability guarantees are provided, and the methods are applied to large-scale congestion games.The third part introduces hybrid PDMs combining continuous and discrete-time dynamics. Two event-triggered PDMs are devised to accommodate practical control features like logic implications and occasional communication. One mechanism focuses on PEV charging coordination, considering charging completion and random arrivals/departures of PEVs, while another aims to reduce communication costs in residential demand response. Formal convergence guarantees towards GNEs are deduced for both cases.In summary, this thesis contributes theoretically and practically to GNE seeking methods for population games over networks and to the design of optimization-based control strategies for LSCSs.

    Thesis abstract: Fossil fuels have played a pivotal role in driving global economic development. However, their rampant use has brought about severe environmental consequences, particularly air pollution and greenhouse gases (GHG) emmissions, which poses substantial threats to human health and the planet's well-being. To address these pressing issues, the development of efficient and sustainable technologies like Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs), powered by hydrogen from renewable sources, has become paramount. PEMFCs hold immense promise as a viable solution for decarbonization and mitigating air pollution and GHG emissions associated with transportation and vehicles. Nvertheless, overcoming challenges related to their efficiency and longevity remains a crucial step forward.Specifically, this thesis explores the application of PEMFCs in an automotive fuel cell electric vehicle. The longevity and durability of a fuel cell system, together with its efficiency, are pivotal factors in the advancement of fuel cell vehicles, as they significantly impact the cost and consumer acceptance of these vehicles. In the domain of automotive applications, the primary contributors to fuel cell degradation include challenging operating conditions (involving temperature, humidity, pressure, mass flow rate, high and low power densities), dynamic load profiles, improper handling during start-stop and idle modes, and the presence of contaminants in the reactant gases. A distributed-parameter model of the stack is presented in this thesis, accurately depicting the internal dynamic behavior of the PEMFC. Additionally, the models of balance-of-plant subsystems, including anode, cathode, and thermal subsystems are introduced and implemented in Simulink. All these models are experimentally validated. Based on these models, a model predictive control strategy is designed to obtain the optimal operating conditions for the stack and generate from these the balance-of-plant subsystem setpoints.A supervisory controller for a fuel cell system is designed. This supervisory controller comprises three key components: a setpoint generator, a state machine, and a power limit calculator. The supervisory controller is subjected to rigorous simulation testing using a standard automotive driving cycle.These sophisticated control methodologies and algorithms are then applied to the automotive system developed in the European INN-BALANCE project, which served as the foundation for this PhD Thesis. Therefore, this thesis presents experimental results obtained from the implementation of the proposed controller in a prototype vehicle at PCS and CEVT facilities, encompassing startup, shutdown, dynamic load tracking, and subsystem local controller performance.Finally, this thesis provide a comprehensive overview of the contributions made by the research and its outcomes. The conclusion also proposes potential avenues for future research, marking the culmination of the investigative journey undertaken in this thesis.

    Thesis abstract: Surface inspection of coated surfaces in the automotive industry, traditionally has been a manual process in charge of keen eye operators in charge of inspecting the whole car body. However, as might be deducted, manual inspections often lack repetitiveness and reliability, very much desired in a such a strict sector. Computer vision tackled this problem with the first automated defect detection systems, pinpointing the defects in the car body and their size. Nevertheless, as these systems are constrained to just detection, the operator is still in charge of properly labelling the defects to rework them correctly. Additionally, there is a lack of traceability between the process and the defects themselves, taking longer to identify the root causes of faulty paint shop facilities.In this thesis, we address the multidisciplinary problem of defect identification in specular surfaces, with two main research lines. In the first one, we developed a novel illumination approach based on indirect diffuse lighting, in contrast with the conventional specular reflection. Together with a high resolution camera, we demonstrated an important improvement in terms of defect recognition with respect to the existing defect detection systems. These results are assessed with specialized auditors from the SEAT Martorell factory.The second research line, oriented to computer vision, explore the possibilities of implementing a deep learning solution for industrial defect identification. We developed a fast and reliable context aggregation model, featuring dilated convolutions and residual connections between opposite layers. This model is then trained following a loss leverage between classification and segmentation, for a smoother training procedure. Additionally, in order to cope the frequent class imbalances in the industrial datasets, we developed a guided-crop image augmentation strategy, based on cropping real defect randomly into non-defective images to generate synthetic new samples. The results state that the combination of this model with this augmentation strategy is able to outperform well-known segmentation models.Eventually, for data scarcity situations, we resorted to image synthesis methods to generate new fake samples. Models like Pix2pix have proven to be able to generate close to real im- ages, helping the segmentation model to converge faster than with the previous guided-crop image augmentation technique. Later, this generative method will be surpassed by a more sophisticated one, which features spatially-adaptive normalization layers that help to synthe- size images even without an encoder. Overall, it demonstrated good capabilities in multiple industrial datasets.

    Thesis abstract: Autonomous driving is a promising solution for current transportation systems that would provide sustainable traffic flow, efficient mobility, and pollution reduction. However, the interaction of multiple vehicles presents several engineering challenges, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and critical decision-making. Robustness is another challenge that is crucial to ensure the proper design of autonomous driving technology. Vehicles are subject to significant uncertainty due to modeling errors, discretization of sensor signals, or external signals that adversely affect their nominal behaviour. This thesis proposes robust and optimal model-based approaches to address motion planning and control problems. Robustness is addressed from a set theory perspective. Specifically, the advantages of zonotopic sets are used to exploit the design of tube constraints in planning and control, as well as to quantify and propagate uncertainty in the modeling and estimation phases. In the field of modeling, this thesis utilizes control/planning-oriented models using the Takagi-Sugeno (TS) and linear parameter-varying (LPV) paradigms to represent the non-linear model of the vehicle. These representations are obtained from the physical equations of motion or directly from data. The data-driven dynamic model is trained using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Meanwhile, the uncertainty associated with the model parameters is estimated through a zonotopic recursive least-square (ZRLS) approach.In the field of motion control, this thesis proposes a two-layer trajectory tracking robust strategy based on model predictive control (MPC) in the outer layer. In the inner layer, a combination of a linear quadratic zonotopic controller (LQZ) and a zonotopic Kalman filter (ZKF) is used. The vehicle's energy is managed by the MPC through the state of charge of its battery while ensuring performance indexes in terms of longitudinal, lateral, and angular velocities. To achieve this, the strategy combines a data-driven dynamic model with kinematic and state-of-charge models.Subsequently, the two-layer robust configuration is utilized for planning purposes. In the first step, the model predictive planner (MPP) generates feasible references online while maximizing both the longitudinal velocity and the saving energy through the battery state of charge. This is different to the control stage, in which the controller follows the reference previously computed offline. Additionally, the planner integrates a data-driven prediction model and a computationally efficient driving-corridor-like method based on track width constraints to handle collision avoidance for both static and moving obstacles. In the second step, an MPP is proposed to address coordination between connected autonomous vehicles. This planner utilizes the LPV representation of the non-linear vehicle model, which is derived from the physical equations of motion using the non-linear embedding approach. Furthermore, it incorporates mixed-integer linear inequalities to ensure safe overtaking maneuvers and avoid non-linear constraints imposed by obstacle boundaries. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed control and planning approaches, a small 1/10 scale electric car is utilized. Furthermore, simulations are performed in aggressive autonomous driving regimes, which involve steep curves and driving at maximum velocity.

    Thesis abstract: 3D scene modeling refers to the process of creating a digital representation of real-world environments for better understandingand further manipulation. Early works involved the utilization of pure structured representations such as meshes or voxel grids.The recent success of deep learning has enabled implicit representations of the scenes using deep neural networks, whichtypically are of high efficiency in automatically learning from data and handling high-resolution complex scenes. However, theseimplicit representations are often not explainable with an automatic feature learning process, hindering their further applicationsin practical scenarios. For example, to reduce potentially catastrophic failures in high-risky fields such as healthcare orautonomous driving, the uncertainty associated with the modeling results must be included into the decision-making process.Aiming at more interpretable 3D scene modeling, this thesis explores various methods to quantify the uncertainty in the processof 3D scene modeling that utilizes implicit neural representation. Firstly, we propose stochastic neural radiance fields to model aprobabilistic framework for capturing the uncertainty on rendered RGB images and estimated depth from the learned scenemodel, with a drastically reduction of model complexity compared to previous Bayesianbased probabilistic methods. To enhanceits capability of handling more complex scenes with varying geometry and appearance, we next extend the modelexpressiveness by incorporating a flow-based generative models to automatically learn arbitrarily complicated densitydistributions in a flexible manner. While these methods are able to achieve accurate 3D modeling with reliable uncertaintyestimation, they still suffer from the time-consuming optimization process, impeding their further applications in practicalscenarios. Therefore, we then explore a hybrid representation with incorporated voxel grids to explicitly learn the volumetricdensity of each 3D position, dramatically improving the model efficiency in both optimization and inference. So far, the currentframework is inherently designed for estimating predictive uncertainty for the areas of the scene that can be observed in thetraining images, and fail to output reliable uncertainty involving unobserved scene contents such as occlusion for roboticexploration in unknown experiments. For this purpose, we finally propose to introduce a 3D uncertainty field based on the trainedmodel, exhibiting consistently high uncertainty for predictions from those unobserved scene regions.In summary, we design an efficient and reliable probabilistic framework for 3D scene modeling to quantify the comprehensiveuncertainty associated with the predictions both from observed and unobserved scene regions. This framework provides a solidtool for uncertainty-aware decision-making and analysis in a variety of applications that rely on 3D scene modeling.

    Thesis abstract: The physical world exhibits a wide range of obstacles to the application of robotics in a large number of tasks. Scripted behavior and/or teleoperated programs are still used in many industries (e.g. car assembly) because they are robust and reliable. However, their scope is limited and falls short in less controlled environments. We explore the possibilities of task planning, or Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning, for solving tasks in a more flexible, non-scripted way. In contrast to motion planning, AI planning focuses on high-level decision-making, rather than on concerns such as computation of trajectories and dynamics. Task planning is a very powerful tool for virtual situated agents (e.g. videogames or web services). One of its main advantages is that it allows deliberative, explainable, and adaptive behavior as long as a reliable model of the environment is available. However, the physical world presents some challenges that make the application of AI planning more difficult. This thesis has the following objectives, each one tied to a different challenge: (O1) integration of AI and motion planning; (O2) handling the unintended effects of actions taken by the robot; (O3) performing tasks even when the robot is not aware of all the relevant information; and (O4) automatic learning of action models to avoid the need for handcrafted ones. Our first contributions revolve mainly around objectives O1 to O3, which involve planning and acting. We propose hierarchical paradigms of planning, exploitation of topological properties of a problem for simplifying Markov Decision Processes, and planning alongside physical simulators to minimize the risk of unintended effects.

    Thesis abstract: This dissertation aims to investigate two crucial tasks in the field of signal and image processing: signal denoising and image enhancement. Firstly, for signal processing, we propose three innovative denoising algorithms tailored specifically for one-dimensional EEG signals. These algorithms combine the strengths of deep learning and traditional signal processing techniques to effectively adapt to various noise types associated with different cognitive tasks, thereby enhancing the quality and accuracy of the signals. Secondly, in the domain of image processing, we introduce three novel image enhancement algorithms designed to tackle multiple noise types in natural scenes. By integrating deep learning methodologies with prior knowledge, these algorithms enhance image sharpness, contrast, and detail reproduction, demonstrating adaptability and reliability across different lighting, weather conditions, and photographic equipment. Lastly, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the similarities and differences between image enhancement and signal denoising tasks. Through comparing the methodologies employed by each in handling diverse noise types, we derive meaningful conclusions to guide future research. These contributions are poised to significantly advance technological capabilities and theoretical understanding in both domains.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
