Title Thermal Image SuperResolution through Deep Convolutional Neural Network. Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 16th International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition (ICIAR 2019); Waterloo, Canadá Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 417-426
Keywords
Abstract Due to the lack of thermal image datasets, a new dataset has been acquired for proposed a superesolution approach using a Deep Convolution Neural Network schema. In order to achieve this image enhancement process a new thermal images dataset is used. Di?erent experiments have been carried out, ?rstly, the proposed architecture has been trained using only images of the visible spectrum, and later it has been trained with images of the thermal spectrum, the results showed that with the network trained with thermal images, better results are obtained in the process of enhancing the images, maintaining the image details and perspective. The thermal dataset is available at http://www.cidis.espol.edu.ec/es/dataset

Title Kinematic optimization of a robot head movements for the evaluation of human-robot interaction in social robotics. Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 10th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics and the Affiliated Conferences (AHFE 2019), Washington D.C.; United States. Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Abbreviated Journal

Keywords
Abstract This paper presents the simplification of the head movements from

the analysis of the biomechanical parameters of the head and neck at the

mechanical and structural level through CAD modeling and construction with

additive printing in ABS/PLA to implement non-verbal communication strategies and establish behavior patterns in the social interaction. This is using in the

denominated MASHI (Multipurpose Assistant robot for Social Human-robot

Interaction) experimental robotic telepresence platform, implemented by a

display with a fish-eye camera along with the mechanical mechanism, which

permits 4 degrees of freedom (DoF). In the development of mathematicalmechanical modeling for the kinematics codification that governs the robot and

the autonomy of movement, we have the Pitch, Roll, and Yaw movements, and

the combination of all of them to establish an active communication through

telepresence. For the computational implementation, it will be show the rotational matrix to describe the movement.

Title Real time Qualitative Model for estimate Water content in PEM Fuel Cell Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 455-459
Keywords
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 Sustainable Energy: A Strategic View of Fuel Cells Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication 8th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA 2019); Brasov, Rumania Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 239-243
Keywords
Abstract Based on the model of the proton exchange fuel cell in a strategic context,

this document develops the issue of energy as one of the pillars to achieve the

sustainability of our planet, considering the future scenarios up to the year 2060 of the

situation energy, hydrogen as a strategic vector and the contribution of the fuel cell in

solving the serious problems of environmental pollution and economic inequity that

humanity faces; for its application in the energy generation, telecommunications and

vehicle manufacturing industries.

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 PETRA: A Crowdsourcing-Based Platform for Rocks Data Collection and Characterization Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE ETCM 2019 Fourth Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting; Guayaquil, Ecuador Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 1-6
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents details of a distributed platform intended for data acquisition, evaluation, storage and visualization, which is fully implemented under the crowdsourcing paradigm. The proposed platform is the result from collaboration between computer science and petrology researchers and it is intended for academic purposes. The platform is designed within a MTV (Model, Template and View) architecture and also designed for a collaborative data store and managing of rocks from multiple readers and writers, taking advantage of ubiquity of web applications, and neutrality of researchers from different

communities to validate the data. The platform is being used and validated by students and academics from our university; in the near future it will be open to other users interested on this topic.

Title Forward and Inverse Kinematics of a Humanoid Robot Head for Social Human Robot-Interaction Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE ETCM 2019 Fourth Ecuador Technical Chapters Meeting; Guayaquil, Ecuador Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of forward and inverse kinematics for a humanoid robotic head. The robotic head is used for the study of social human-robot interaction, such as a support tool to maintain the attention of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The design of a parallel robot that emulates human head movements through a closed structure is presented. The position and orientation in this space is controlled by three servomotors. For this, the solutions made for the kinematic problem are encompassed by a geometric analysis of a mobile base. This article describes a non-systematic method,

called the geometric method, and compares some of the most popular existing methods considering reliability and computational cost. The geometric method avoids the use of changing reference systems, and instead uses geometric

relationships to directly obtain the position based on joint variables; and the other way around. Therefore, it converges in a few iterations and has a low computational cost.
