The Research Group on Intelligent Robots and Systems (ROMIN) is a multidisciplinary team dedicated to study and develop all the technologies involved in the design and construction of robots for various applications. So its activities covers aspects ranging from more theoretical fields, such as kinematic or dynamic modeling, advanced control algorithms or perception, to more applied areas such as mechanical design, manufacturing, or predesign sensing industry.

On-demand autonomous mobility, Self-driving vehicles and cooperative maneuvers: Navigation, decision an control algorithms, sensor fusion, localization, mapping and V2X communications

The Field and Service Robotic Group is focused on the design and development of new robotic devices, control systems, learning approaches and resilient components to ensure their autonomy and safe utilization when collaborate and/or interact with humans or other static and dynamic systems.

The Intelligent Control Group focuses its research activity on the application of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques to ensure the safe autonomous navigation of vehicles and robots, as well as the interaction of robots with humans. The group's activities address research and innovation in different fields such as fuzzy logic, combinational optimisation, robot navigation and social robotics.

The research group is focused on developing methods and techniques in the conjunction of Automatica and AI, whose materialization through intelligent control, enables addressing four pillars: modelling, control, supervision and optimization of complex processes, especially in manufacturing and industrial cyber-physical systems.The group addresses two main fields of application, namely intelligent manufacturing systems and renewable energies (LERH). Key hot topics are sensors and new sensorial systems, embedded systems, cyber-physical systems and ecosystems information technology.

Increasing the autonomy of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV or drones) by means of on-board sensors and computing capabilities (mainly Vision) is the main objective of the Group. This visual information hs already demonstrated its power in biological systems, and its introduction in the robotics system is our challenge, that is aimed to accomplished with the help of the new Machine Learning techniques.

The GPA group is a pioneer and European leader in the development of perception systems and solutions based on intelligent and cooperative robots (multi-robot systems and cobots), providing solutions to a wide range of complex problems. The group's research focuses on technology transfer, mainly in the agricultural sector, which is of great importance in Europe.

Fundamental and applied research on GPS-denied Localization systems and exploration systems. Positioning and navigation of persons inside buildings. Design of local positioning systems or LPS (using ultrasound, Radio: RFID, UWB,...), Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning systems o PDR (using Inertial sensors or IMU), and hybrid solutions by fusing information with Bayesian estimation techniques. Aplications in personal navigation, mobility, safety and health.

This group of research is work with quite abstract and multidisciplinary by nature but we evaluate our developments in three different technical domains: the world of continuous process control, the world of robotics and the world of information technology.
