During the last years, it is clear the growing importance of endurance sports, especially middle- and long-distance races, included or not within the also very popular endurance triathlon. Currently, these athletes support the workouts on a smart watch or heart rate monitor as well as software applications for analysis and statistics. These software applications make possible to analyze a posteriori data itineraries, to make comparisons, to obtain statistical values, ... facilitating the realization of comprehensive and...

The main objective of this project is to analyse the capacity of current parallel kinematic structures as a test bench for automotives, allowing for a reduction in the cost of developing these elements and the necessary testing hours on track. For this, we will approach from several areas. First, we will look at the synthesis and design of parallel robots, in order to determine the most adequate structure to meet the needs of the application, as well as the sizing. Second, kinematic and dynamic modelling will allow...

The aim of this work is to analyse drilling process behaviour to evaluate the possibilities of designing a control system that allows us to increase productivity and to efficiently manage tools with a power supervision loop. In order to carry out this analysis we first propose a testing methodology to extract maximum knowledge about the process. This trial methodology involves trials in both a stable regime and degraded regimes caused by the wear or breakage of the tool. Second, it is necessary to define and...
