gvSIG: la aplicación integral para el manejo de información geográfica

gvSIG es probablemente el proyecto relacionado con la información geográfica que más ha dado que hablar desde su aparición, en el año 2004, habiéndose convertido en un referente dentro de los SIG, tanto libres como propietarios, y alcanzando una gran difusión en diversos países. gvSIG es un proyecto que persigue convertirse en una aplicación integradora, unificando mundos como el del CAD y el SIG, el SIG vectorial y el SIG raster, integrando el trabajo en el local con las Intraestructuras de Datos Espaciales, las dos dimensiones con el 3D y el 4D, ... y en definitiva construyendo una herramienta que pueda dar servicio al amplio abanico de usuarios de la información geográfica

ICTINEUAUV wins the First SAUC-E competition

A pioneer team of students of the University of Girona decided to design and develop an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) called ICTINEU-AUV to face the Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge-Europe (SAUC-E). The prototype has evolved from the initial computer aided design (CAD) model to become an operative AUV in the short period of seven months. The open frame and modular design principles together with the compatibility with other robots previously developed at the lab have provided the main design philosophy. Hence, at the robot's core, two networked computers give access to a wide set of sensors and actuators. The Gentoo/Linux distribution was chosen as the onboard operating system. A software architecture based on a set of distributed objects with soft real time capabilities was developed and a hybrid control architecture including mission control, a behavioural layer and a robust map-based localization algorithm made ICTINEU-AUV the winning entry

Contribución a la selección de cadenas de procesos de fabricación

During the design phase, it creates and transforms ideas into products. It needs to know the manufacturing aspects for ensuring success and calculating the product cost while developing of designs. However, the choice one or another way of manufacturing, it will get slightly different results to the proposed design. The design teams require knowing some manufacturing alternatives for evaluate. This thesis has been proposed a select manufacturing process chain tool. The system modeled the design and manufacturing process data by select attributes and the process relationship. Moreover, the system uses “transformation concept” that represents the capability of each manufacturing process to modify a determinate design attribute. Finally, the system is developed as algorithm and build as part of a CAD platform.
