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. 

Romper el ciclo de la invisibilidad. El empleo como vía para favorecer la inclusión

"[ES] En España las posibilidades de empleo de las personas en riesgo de exclusión social no son satisfactorias. Se trata de un problema que centramos en las concepciones educativas de la enseñanza-aprendizaje inicial, que orientan minoritariamente a la formación para el empleo como a la oferta y demanda de trabajo de esos colectivos. En nuestro sistema educativo de la desatención y marginación del alumnado en riesgo de exclusión social se pasó a la educación especial; luego, a la normalización e integración, lo que condujo a la inclusión educativa. En ese momento final que nos encontramos aparecen visiones innovadoras como la escuela para todos, empleo con apoyo, y vida con apoyo que desarrollan el paradigma de la autonomía y vida independiente. [EN] Employment chances for people in risk of social exclusion are not satisfactory in Spain. This has been a problem at the core of educational conceptions concerning primary education, scarcely orientated towards the employment of such groups. In our system, from margination and neglect of our pupils in risk of social exclusion, we sent them to special education first, then to normalization and integration and finally to inclusive education. Nowadays, innovative visions such as school for all, employment and life with support are developing the model of autonomy and independent life. "

Recursos didácticos y estrategias TIC en el ámbito de la docencia del Derecho

[EN]In this paper we analyze the use of tablets in the classroom and the new key technologies based on mobile learning; describing their potential in the academic activities. We start always to identify and describe the key trends in educational technology in the field of teaching and learning and as always start from the last NMC Horizon Report 2014. So we will see how our university experience in the field of law, we used the methodological synergy and integration of the flipped classroom, apps design and even the gamification as new teaching tools of the digital ecosystem.
