| Title | A Week-long Study on Robot-Visitors Spatial Relationships during Guidance in a Sciences Museum | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2014 | Publication  |
ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 152-153 | ||
| Keywords | social human-robot interaction, spatial relationships, proxemics behavior | ||||
| Abstract | In order to observe spatial relationships in social human- robot interactions, a field trial was carried out within the CosmoCaixa Science Museum in Barcelona. The follow me episodes studied showed that the space configurations formed by guide and visitors walking together did not always fit the robot social affordances and navigation requirements to perform the guidance successfully, thus additional commu- nication prompts are considered to regulate effectively the walking together and follow me behaviors. | ||||

| Title | A predictive model for human activity recognition by observing actions and context | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2015 | Publication |

| Abstract | This paper presents a novel model to estimate human activities – a human activity is defined by a set of human actions. The proposed approach is based on the usage of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Bayesian inference through the continuous monitoring of human actions and its surrounding environment. In the current work human activities are inferred considering not only visual analysis but also additional resources; external sources of information, such as context information, are incorporated to contribute to the activity estimation. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in the way the information is encoded, so that it can be later associated according to a predefined semantic structure. Hence, a pattern representing a given activity can be defined by a set of actions, plus contextual information or other kind of information that could be relevant to describe the activity. Experimental results with real data are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach. | ||||

| Abstract | To maintain optimum performance of the electrical response of a fuel cell, a real time identification of the malfunction situations is required. Critical fuel cell states depend, among others, on the variable demand of electric load and are directly related to the membrane hydration level. The real time perception of relevant states in the PEM fuel cell states space, is still a challenge for the PEM fuel cell control systems. Current work presents the design and implementation of a methodology based upon fuzzy decision techniques that allows real time characterization of the dehydration and flooding states of a PEM fuel cell. Real time state estimation is accomplished through a perturbation-perception process on the PEM fuel cell and further on voltage oscillation analysis. The real time implementation of the perturbation-perception algorithm to detect PEM fuel cell critical states is a novelty and a step forwards the control of the PEM fuel cell to reach and maintain optimal performance. |

| Title | Transients analysis in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: A critical review | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2019 | Publication |
8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 249-252 | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | When a proton exchange fuel cell operates it produces in addition to electrical energy, heat and water as sub products, which impact on the performance of the cell. This paper analyzes the issue of transients and proposes a model that describes the dynamic operation of the fuel cell. The model considers the transients produced by electrochemical reactions, by flow water and by heat transfer. Two-phase flow transients result in increased the parasitic power losses and thermal transients may result in flooding or dryout of the GDL and membrane, understanding transient behavior is critical for reliable and predictable performance from the cell. |

| Title | Qualitative Model of Control in the Pressure Stabilization of PEM Fuel Cell | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2018 | Publication |

| Volume | Issue | Pages | 1221-1226 | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | This work describes an approximate reasoning technique to deal with the non-linearity that occurs in the stabilization of the pressure of anodic and cathodic gases of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEM). The implementation of a supervisory element in the stabilization of the pressure of the PEM cell is described. The fuzzy supervisor is a reference control, it varies the value of the reference given to the classic low-level controller, Proportional – Integral – Derivative (PID), according to the speed of change of the measured pressure and the change in the error of the pressure. The objective of the fuzzy supervisor is to achieve a rapid response over time of the variable pressure, avoiding unwanted overruns with respect to the reference value. A comparative analysis is detailed with the classic PID control to evaluate the operation of the “fuzzy supervisor”, with different flow values and different sizes of active area of the PEM cell (electric power generated). |

| Title | Experts Agents in PEM Fuel Cell Control | Type | Conference Article | ||

| Abstract | In the control of the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell, the existence of both deliberative and reactive processes that facilitate the tasks of control resulting from a wide range of operating scenarios and range of conditions it is required. The latter is essential to adjust its parameters to the multiplicity of circumstances that may occur in the operation of the PEM stack. In this context, the design and development of an expert-agents based architecture for autonomous control of the PEM stack in top working conditions is presented. The architecture integrates perception and control algorithms using sensory and context information. It is structured in a hierarchy of levels with different time window and level of abstraction. The monitoring model and autonomic control of PEM stack has been validated with different types of PEM stacks and operating conditions demonstrating high reliability in achieving the objective of the proposed energy efficiency. Dynamic control of the wetting of the membrane is a clear example. | ||||
