Programa de Doctorado: Fuentes, Métodos e Historiografía para la Investigación en el Mundo Atlántico

Aplicación del MEC en la evaluación de medidas para reducir el impacto acústico en el entorno de carreteras.

[ES]Se presenta un modelo bidimensional de Elementos de Contorno que permite determinar la eficacia de medidas de reducción del impacto acústico provocado por el tráfico rodado. Se presentarán resultados de eficacia pra estrategias que implican el apantallamiento de la fuente de ruido (pantalla acústica y depresión de vías).

Diseño, implementación y verificación de un controlador para robots educativos

[EN] This project briefly analyzes the scope and applications of Industrial Robotics, as well as the importance that this technical discipline has gained in the past decades. In addition, it proposes a modern platform to assist in teaching this discipline in colleges and universities. This new educational platform for the teaching of Industrial Robotics is based on the robotic systems from Rhino Robotics Ltd., using the existing robotic arms and replacing the control electronics by a newer, modern and yet backwards-compatible controller. In addition to the controller, this platform also provides new, up-to-date software utilities that are more intuitive than those provided with the old system. The work to be done consists essentially in receiving commands from a personal computer which the controller must interpret in order to control the motors of the robotic arm. The controller itself will be implemented as an embedded system based on microcontrollers. This requires the implementation of a communication protocol between the personal computer and the microcontroller, the design of a command interpreter, the design of the electronics for motor control using PWM and H-bridges, and the implementation of control techniques (more precisely, PID control). Hence, this project combines software and hardware design and integration techniques with motor control techniques and feedback control methods from Control Engineering, along with the kinematic analysis of the Rhino XR-4 robotic arm.
