The general objective of the project is to develop a cyber-physical system based on low-cost portable multispectral IoT nodes and Artificial Intelligence that allows the most relevant parameters that influence olive quality to be measured in a simple and economical way, with the benefit of assisting the farmer in making a decision about when to...

En este documento se describen las diferentes líneas de investigación en las que actualmente trabaja el grupo TIC 150: Tecnología Electrónica e Informática Industrial del Departamento de Tecnología Electrónica (DTE) de la Universidad de Sevilla. Este grupo cuenta con una dilatada experiencia en proyectos de investigación, tanto de convocatorias...

The best way to obtain relevant information about the behaviour of animals is direct observation (of individuals). However, traditional close-up observations can interfere on the behaviour, and taking biometric measurements requires the capture of individuals, which also causes stress. This paper describes an automatic motoring system for birds...

This work presents a nonlinear model predictive control scheme with a novel structure of observers aiming to create a methodology that allows feasible implementations in industrial anaerobic reactors. In this way, a new step-by-step procedure scheme has been proposed and tested by solving two specific drawbacks reported in the literature...

Head-related transfer function (HRTF) individualization can improve the perception of binaural sound. The interaural time difference (ITD) of the HRTF is a relevant cue for sound localization, especially in azimuth. Therefore, individualization of the ITD is likely to result in better sound spatial localization. A study of ITD has been...

Industrial distributed control continues the move toward networks at all levels. At lower levels, control networks provide flexibility, reliability, and low cost, although perhaps the simplest but most important advantage is the reduced volume of wiring. Powered fieldbuses offer particular notable benefits in system wiring simplification....

The failures (known in the terminology of the Airbus DS Company as "incidences") in the test process of an aircraft create delays and costs for the company. Our team from the Electronic Technology Department (Spain) worked with the Airbus DS Company and developed a framework for incidence prediction from a data mining process. Specifically, the...

There is a growing demand to equip Smart Water Networks (SWN) with advanced sensing and computation capabilities in order to detect anomalies and apply autonomous event-triggered control. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have emerged as an important research area capable of intelligently sensing the state of SWN and reacting autonomously in...

One hundred development and certification ground tests must be performed before the A400M aircraft's first flight. Ground testing is an essential but also expensive process performed by the Airbus Defense and Space (Airbus DS) Company in the manufacturing cycle of an aircraft. This process involves the repetition of a large group of tests due...

This paper presents a study of the most suitable ground test equipment for the Airbus A400M aircraft aimed at optimizing a design that combines portability, flexibility, and configurability. The study is based on current trends in the configuration of the different parts that are involved in the process of designing Aircraft Interface Modules...

Este trabajo pretende localizar visualmente la posición de paneles de una instalación termosolar para, en un procesado posterior, detectar y clasificar fallos en los mismos. Estas imágenes se consiguen gracias al vuelo de un dron sobre la planta fotovoltaica, este dron está dotado con una cámara termográfica que tomará las imágenes. Para...

Determining the importance of different management areas in a company provides guidance about the needs of increasing the analysis and actions focuses in particular topic. To do it, it is necessary to decompose the management in a coherent set of specific management areas and provide a way that allows the company to determine the importance of...

El objetivo ha sido el diseño de un sistema de ayuda a la decisión para la planificación del servicio de recogida de residuos sólidos urbanos de una ciudad. El sistema recoge datos de sensores ubicados en algunos contenedores (volumen) y cada vez que se vacía un contenedor (peso). La principal novedad del sistema consiste en la obtención de un...

This work presents a new standard in the model, identification, and control of monitoring purposes over anaerobic reactors. One requirement that guarantees a normal controller operation is for the faculty to measure the data needed periodically. Due to its inability to easily obtain the concentrations of acidogenic bacteria and methanogenic...

This paper proposes a novel and autonomous weighing system for wild animals. It allows evaluating changes in the body weight of animals in their natural environment without causing stress. The proposed system comprises a smart scale designed to estimate individual body weights and their temporal evolution in a bird colony. The system is based...

In a system formed by hundreds of sensors deployed in a huge area it is important to know the position where every sensor is. This information can be obtained using several methods. However, if the number of sensors is high and the deployment is based on ad-hoc manner, some auto-locating techniques must be implemented. In this paper we describe...

The localization of the sensor nodes is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks. There are a lot of different kinds of solutions in the literature. Some of them use external devices like GPS, while others use special hardware or implicit parameters in wireless communications. In applications like wildlife localization in a natural...

Locating nodes is a fundamental problem in wireless networks with hundreds of devices deployed in a wide area. This is especially relevant for mobile nodes. Wireless sensor nodes are usually powered by small batteries, solar panels or piezoelectric generators, so that, and consequently, power consumption is the main constraint to deal with. But...
