The work reported in this article describes the research advances and the lessons learned
by the Robotics, Perception and Real‐Time group over a decade of research in the field of …

In this chapter we present the Autonomous Robot for Sewer Inspection (ARSI), a robotic
system designed to make the work of inspection brigades safer and more efficient. ARSI …

Robot localization inside tunnels is a challenging task due to the special conditions of these
environments. The GPS-denied nature of these scenarios, coupled with the low visibility …

Tunnels represent strong multipath environments for communications, where wireless
propagation differs from regular indoor or outdoor scenarios. Moreover, with an adequate …

Localization of mobile robots in straight and smooth environments, such as tunnels, mines or
pipes, is an extremely difficult task due to the lack of recognizable features. Most of the laser …

Radio communication is becoming more widely used in underground mining, although it is
still a challenge to achieve good quality and reliable coverage. This research provides …

Accurate localization is a problem in environments such as tunnels or pipes due to the
hostile conditions, dimensions and the general lack of distinctive visual and/or structural …

Tunnels represent challenging scenarios for robotics, where the hostile conditions such as
the GPS-denied nature of the environment, walls uniformity, darkness and lack of features …

Tunnels in construction exhibit many challenges for automation. In this work we address the
robotization of a conventional dumper for debris removal during the construction of tunnels …

Robot localization inside tunnels is a challenging task due to the hostile conditions of the
environment. The GPS-denied nature of the scenario together with the low visibility, slippery …
