AIN-IRI 2010-2012: Detección de obstáculos para robots aéreos por medio de técnicas ópticas 

Private research contract with the Asociación de Industrias de Navarra. The goal of this project is to develop techniques for computing contact times, or collision times for autonomous aerial vehicles (AUV’s) using computer vision.

PAU 2008-2011: Perception and action under

uncertainty ( DPI2008-06022).

The goal of this project is to provide a theoretical foundation of the relation between perception and action in the presence of uncertainty. The main outcome of the project will be novel scientific contributions on Bayesian estimation applied to robotics problems with large state spaces. In particular, the project will produce: novel uncertainty parameterizations that allow efficient inference, new probabilistic hypotheses testing strategies with respect to information load, new active exploration paradigms for scene and object model acquisition, and novel pose estimation algorithms.

URUS 2006-2009: Ubiquitous Networing Robotics in Urban Settings (IST-FP6-STREP-045062).

The general objective of this project was the development of new ways of cooperation between network robots and human beings and/or the environment in urban areas, in order to achieve efficiently tasks that in the other way can be very complex, time consuming or too costly. The focus of the project was in urban pedestrian areas, an important topic in Europe where there exists a growing interest in reducing the number of cars in the streets and improving the quality of life. Network robots can be an important instrument to address these issues in the cities.
