Robotic system with intelligent vision and control for tunnel structural inspection and evaluation

ROBOSPECT, driven by the tunnel inspection industry, adapts and integrates recent research results in intelligent control in robotics, computer vision tailored with semisupervised and active continuous learning and sensing, in an innovative, integrated, robotic system that automatically scans the intrados for potential defects on the surface and detects and measures radial deformation in the cross-section, distance between parallel cracks, cracks

Advanced robotic systems in future collaborative working environments

The objective of this STREP is to research integrative concepts of advanced robotic systems to be seen as collaborative agents in various environments working together with humans by design suitable architectures and technologies to achieve this goal.

Robot for autonomous sub-surface characterization and remediation

Analysis of possible application of autonomous underground robotic systems for subsurface characterization and remediation.

Multifunctional self-supported climbing robot able to travel in complex environments

The main objective of the ROMA 1 project is the development of multifunctional autonomous self-supported climbing robot able to travel into complex 3D metallic-based environments by using two grippers that adaptively grasp different beams and columns.

Multiple autonomous self-supported low-cost robots system for applications in coordinated non-conventional tasks

The main objective of this project is the development of the low-cost system formed by several 4 DOF climbing robots for inspection and maintenance tasks in complex 3D environments, usually metallic- or reinforced cement-based of big dimensions.

Robots sociales para la estimulación física, cognitiva y afectiva de mayores

The final goal of this project is to study the use of social robots to improve the quality of life of the elderly. In order to maintain their wellbeing for a longer period of time, it is essential that they remain mentally as well as physically active. On the other hand, a positive emotional state is also very important
