The ability of building robust semantic space representations of environments is crucial for the development of truly autonomous robots. This task, inherently connected with cognition, is traditionally achieved by training the robot with a supervised learning phase. We argue that…

The transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of binary mixtures of polyethylene and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) copolymers with different concentrations of a foaming agent (azodicarbonamide) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of ZnO as a kicker…

In recent years, holographic optical elements have been introduced in different applications such as high-density data storage, interconnections, spatial and temporal filters and three-dimensional displays. Simultaneously, more sensitive, efficient and durable holographic materials have been developed. Thus it is necessary…

The experimental results of diffraction efficiency as a function of the geometrical disposition of recording beams in bleached silver halide transmission thick-holographic gratings are presented. Two variables have been used to relate these results with certain geometric parameters. These variables…

In real-time Multi-Agent Systems, Real-Time Agents merge intelligent deliberative techniques with real-time reactive actions in a distributed environment. CBR has been successfully applied in Multi-Agent Systems as deliberative mechanism for agents. However, in the case of Real-Time Multi-Agent Systems the…

This paper describes a multi-agent based simulation (MABS) framework to construct an artificial electric power market populated with learning agents. The artificial market, named TEMMAS (The Electricity Market Multi-Agent Simulator), explores the integration of two design constructs: i) the specification…

In this paper we will propose the use of social robots as interface between users and services in a Smart Environment. We will focus on the need for a robot to recognize the user’s feedback, in order to respond and…

Water polo is a collective sport and efforts of high intensity are made in less duration, where
the players must swim, jump, and send the ball with moments of rest or low intensity. The
necessity of greater, stronger, and faster…

This article reviews existing knowledge concerning the epidemiology, instruments and regulatory criteria currently used to evaluate artificial turf soccer pitches. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the use of artificial turf as a playing surface for sports (rugby, soccer,…
