By Eduard Vidal Garcia Supervised by Dr. Marc Carreras / Dr. Narcís Palomeras Abstract Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are currently used in many different applications, such as near-bottom mapping, manipulation or inspection. Most of the time, these tasks are planned in advance using prior information about the environment where the robot will operate. When this prior information does not exist, robotic exploration algorithms can be used so that the robot…

By Richa Agarwal Supervised by Dr. Robert Martí Marly / Dr. Oliver Fernando Diaz Montesdeoca / Dr. Xavier Lladó Bardera Abstract In the field of breast cancer imaging, traditional Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems were designed using limited computing resources and used scanned films (poor image quality), resulting in less robust application process. Currently, with the advancements in technologies, it is possible to perform 3D imaging and also acquire high quality…
