Xu, Longxiang (author), León Sánchez, C.A. (author), Agugiaro, G. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)Nowadays, our society is in the transit to adopt more sustainable energy sources to reduce our impact on the environment; one alternative is solar energy. However, this is highly affected by the surroundings, which might cause shadowing effects. In this paper, we present our method to perform shadowing calculations in urban areas using semantic...conference paper 2024

Tavio Y Cabrera, E.J. (author), Della Santina, C. (author), Borja, Pablo (author)The compliant nature of soft robots is appealing to a wide range of applications. However, this compliant property also poses several control challenges, e.g., how to deal with infinite degrees of freedom and highly nonlinear behaviors. This paper proposes a hybrid controller for a pneumatic-actuated soft robot. To this end, a model-based...conference paper 2024
