The Oceans’19 MTS/IEE conference took place from the 17th to 20th of June 2019 in Marseille, France. The aim of this conference includes the divulgation of maritime scientific and technologic papers, as well as the consequent networking between professionals and researchers in a wide range of fields related to the innovation, study and protection of ocean resources. Girona Underwater Vision and Robotics team participated in all aspects of…
In a collaboration with Université de Lyon, University of Athens, IPGP Institut de Physique du globe de Paris and University of Bergen the CIRS team moved to Greece to map the seafloor. A small team from the Underwater Robotics Research Center (CIRS) with Sparus II AUV equipped with an underwater camera and a panoramic camera together with a zodiac boat, were enough for the mapping purposes. The expedition…
On June 20th, the kick off meeting of the project ICEBERG- Image Computing for Enhancing Breast Cancer Radiomics took place at the University of Girona. The project is coordinated by Dr. Robert Martí from the VICOROB institute, with a multi-disciplinar team of researchers from the University of Girona, Parc Tauli (Sabadell), Clinica Girona, Hospital Trueta (Girona) and Universidad Complutense (Madrid). That project is funded by the Spanish Ministerio de…
Hem assistit al 20è Simposi de la Fundació La Marató de TV3, on s’han presentat els resultats d’una intensa activitat investigadora, traduïts en noves eines de prevenció i de diagnòstic i nous enfocaments terapèutics que milloraran l’esperança i la qualitat de vida dels pacients amb una malaltia neurodegenerativa. El projecte Biomarkem.cat coordinat per la Universitat de Girona, i amb la participació de l’Hospital Vall d’Hebron i l’Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica…
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 cope with such challenges, while it stayed unexplored for underwater intervention. In the last few years, Intervention Autonomous Underwater Vehicles…
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 quality control tests on breast tomosynthesis systems to guarantee a minimum image quality for breast cancer diagnosis. The other WG…
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 1277 papers were finally accepted (44% acceptance rate).
