PhD Thesis
Coalitional model predictive control: Optimization, heuristics, and robustness
(2023-06-05)
This doctoral thesis focuses on coalitional techniques for controllers based on model predictive control (MPC). These controllers are considered agents that form coalitions to collaborate in the control of the overall ...
PhD Thesis
System Architectures for Cooperative Teams of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Interacting Physically with the Environment
(2022-12-16)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become quite a useful tool for a wide range of applications, from inspection & maintenance to search & rescue, among others. The capabilities of a single UAV can be extended or ...
PhD Thesis
Contributions to deconfliction advanced U-space services for multiple unmanned aerial systems including field tests validation
(2023-01-13)
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) will become commonplace, the number of UAS flying in European airspace is expected to increase from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands by 2050. To prepare for this approaching, national ...
PhD Thesis
Learning-based model predictive control for constrained nonlinear systems
(2020-07-22)
Esta tesis está dedicada al control de sistemas, bajo la hipótesis de que no se conoce nada sobre la dinámica del sistema a controlar. En vez de eso, solamente las entradas y salidas son accesibles, y por tanto se puede ...
PhD Thesis
Autonomous 3D Online Exploration of Large Unknown Environments with a UAV equipped with a 2D Laser
(2020-11-13)
This Thesis sets out to develop an architecture for the 3D autonomous exploration of an industrial complex without prior knowledge of the environment with a UAV equipped with a low-cost 2D laser sensor. Following the ...

(2021-07-08)
Las actuales tendencias de la red eléctrica han lanzado a la industria a la búsqueda de sistemas de generación, distribución y consumo de energía eléctrica más eficientes. Generación distribuida, reducción de componentes ...
PhD Thesis
Contributions to distributed MPC: coalitional and learning approaches
(2022-09-06)
A growing number of works and applications are consolidating the research area of distributed control with partial and varying communication topologies. In this context, many of the works included in this thesis focus on ...
PhD Thesis
An Integrated Framework for Modelling and Control of eP2P Interactions based on Model Predictive Control
(2020-07-08)
The energy paradigm is undergoing substantial changes in recent years. In terms of production, it is observable how distributed generation, with an ever-increasing contribution from renewable sources, is displacing large ...
PhD Thesis
Motion planning with dynamics and environment awareness for aerial robotic manipulation in inspection and maintenance
(2022-11-11)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) endowed with robotic manipulation capabilities, also known as Aerial Robotic Manipulators (ARMs), have demonstrated a promising future in their application for Inspection and Maintenance ...
