By Dina Nagui Youakim Isaac Supervised by Dr. Pere Ridao Abstract A key challenge in autonomous mobile manipulation is the ability to determine in real-time how to safely execute complex tasks when placed in an unknown world. Motion Planning has been widely used in terrestrial and aerial robots to…
VICOROB’s member Oliver Díaz has recently joined two new working groups (WGs) of the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP). Each WG has specific objectives to accomplish within the next two years (2019-2021). In the first WG (Breast tomosynthesis QC protocol), new protocols will be defined to perform…
The IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) was held from 20-24 May 2019 at The Palais des congrès de Montréal in Canada, and it is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s flagship conference. This year it received over 2900 submissions from 62 countries, from which a total of…
By Sandra González Villà Supervised by Dr. Xavier Lladó Bardera / Dr. Arnau Oliver Malagelada Abstract This thesis is focused on the automated segmentation of the brain structures in magnetic resonance images, applied to multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This disease is characterized by the presence of demyelinating lesions in…
The IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s flagship conference. Held annually, the conference joins experts in the robotic community for technical communications through presentations and discussions. This year, the ICRA was held from 20-24 May 2019 at The Palais des…
EMRA (European Marine Robotics and Applications workshop) aims to bring together a diverse range of speakers from ongoing EU funded research projects, industry stakeholders, policy makers and end users. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for networking, dissemination of research projects and cross-fertilization of ideas in marine robotics, enabling innovative…
IFREMER (Institut français de recherche pour l’exploitation de la mer) is one of the 15 partners that compose the consortium of EU marine robots (EUMR) H2020 infrastructure project. The Unit for Underwater Systems provides technical systems and related services for the scientific exploration of the deep ocean. The unit englobes…
In recent years, the deep learning based methods achieved the state of the art for medical image segmentation. However, these methods are sensitive to image intensity distribution changes such as different MRI scanner or protocol. Therefore, a neural network has to be retrained to perform similarly in other datasets. In…
