Reducing the gap between general purpose data and aerial images in concentrated solar power plants
M. A. Pérez-Cutiño, J. Valverde, J. Capitán +1
In the context of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants, aerial images captured by drones present a unique set of challenges. Unlike urban or natural landscapes commonly found in e…
Computing optimal trajectories for a tethered pursuer
Aurelio Barrera-Vicent, José Miguel Díaz-Báñez, Fabio Rodríguez +1
In this paper, we introduce a trajectory planning problem for a marsupial robotics system consisting of a ground robot, a drone, and a taut tether of bounded length connecting the…
The Euclidean -Matching Problem is NP-hard
José-Miguel Díaz-Báñez, Ruy Fabila-Monroy, José-Manuel Higes-López +3
Let be a complete edge-weighted graph on vertices. To each subset of vertices of assign the cost of the minimum spanning tree of the subset as its weight. Suppose that…
MASPA: An efficient strategy for path planning with a tethered marsupial robotics system
Jesús Capitán, José M. Díaz-Báñez, Miguel A. Pérez-Cutiño +2
A tethered marsupial robotics system comprises three components: an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and a tether connecting both robots. Marsupial…
Algorithms for the Euclidean Bipartite Edge Cover Problem
Rodrigo A. Castro, José M. Díaz-Báñez, Marco A. Heredia +3
Given a graph with costs on its edges, the minimum-cost edge cover problem consists of finding a subset of covering all vertices in at minimum cost. If is bip…
