During the last years, it is clear the growing importance of endurance sports, especially middle- and long-distance races, included or not within the also very popular endurance triathlon. Currently, these athletes support the workouts on a smart watch or heart rate monitor as well as software applications for analysis and statistics. These software applications make possible to analyze a posteriori data itineraries, to make comparisons, to obtain statistical values, ... facilitating the realization of comprehensive and...

The aim of this work is to analyse drilling process behaviour to evaluate the possibilities of designing a control system that allows us to increase productivity and to efficiently manage tools with a power supervision loop. In order to carry out this analysis we first propose a testing methodology to extract maximum knowledge about the process. This trial methodology involves trials in both a stable regime and degraded regimes caused by the wear or breakage of the tool. Second, it is necessary to define and...

Parallel robots have proven to be the best alternative for dynamic high performance applications in which we need to manipulate powerful changes, apply controlled forces efficiently or move objects at high speed. For this, we require a correct mechanical design as well as an adequate controller that can be executed on real-time. Thus, the aim of the project is to develop specific control techniques for parallel robots in high dynamic performance applications.
