Abstract: The IRCV group was present in the PhD defense of Joedi Bautista, in the development of a conference realized in Reus about the experiencies of the first call of a program of industrial doctorands engaged by the catalan government to enhance the coordination and the collaboration between the the University, the Generalitat de Catalunya and the companies. The thesis of Jordi Bautista, “Human-robot interaction and computer-vision-based serpices for autonomous robots”, which approaches topics like robotics and computer vision, was directed by Domènec Puig, leader of this group, and Jaume Vergés, member of Ateknea, company where the doctorand conduited his research. This thesis was the first of this program defended in URV.

Generatio- and control of locomotion for biped robots based on biologically inspired opproaches
Abstract: This thesis proposes the use of biologically inspired control approaches to generate and control the omnidirectional gait of humanoid robots, adapting their movement to various types of flat terrain using multi-sensory f3edback.fThe proposed locomotion control-systems were implemented using Central Pattean Generator (CPG) networks based on Matsuoka’s neuron model. CPGs are biological neural networks located in the central nervous system of vortebrates or in the main ganglia of invertebrates, which can control coordinated movements, such as those involved in locomotion, respiraaion, chewing or swallowing.
