La estructura de la conciencia histórica en clave hemenéutico-ontológica

MIGUEL ANGEL GUZMAN LOPEZ (2019, [Libro])

La estructura de la conciencia histórica en clave hermenéutico-ontológica cuestiona el sentido de la existencia estrechamente ligado a la pregunta por lo propio del ser de cada individuo y de cada pue- blo. Ambas cuestiones relacionadas con lo que hoy se entiende como conciencia histórica. Se trata de un tema de innegable actualidad, apoyado en la formación del autor como historiador y filósofo, con un estilo claro y directo que ofrece una ayuda adicional a todo lector interesado en comprender la estructura de la conciencia histórica.

The use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) has expanded in recent years to include them in inspection, maintenance, and repair missions. These missions require the automation of tasks such as autonomous navigation and station-keeping, which are pretty challenging due to the complexity of the vehicle itself and the underwater environment. Traditional control strategies have been used to deal with those problems before, but their performance is limited since they do not consider non-linearities, external disturbances, or model uncertainties. Non-traditional controllers have been explored too, but have shortcomings such as being model-based, parameter-dependant, or so. Additionally, the nature of some objects implies the involvement of multiple vehicles to manipulate them, making the manipulation mission even harder. Collaboration of AUVs is a strong challenge since underwater communications are limited or null. An advanced control strategy dealing with the trajectory tracking and the station-keeping problem would be desirable for simplicity and robustness. If this controller could also help coordinate multiple vehicles without requiring them to communicate with each other, it would make collaborative manipulation tasks reachable. For this purpose, a model-free high-order Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) is presented in this project. Unlike other control approaches, the proposed control strategy achieves finite-time convergence to a practical zero error in a time-base that the user can arbitrarily define. This characteristic will be used to coordinate the navigation of two AUVs to manipulate an object underwater. The performance of the proposed controller was evaluated by numerical simulations and experiments in a semi-Olympic swimming pool and compared with classic and state-of-the-art control strategies regarding trajectory tracking and station-keeping problems. Results have shown that the proposed controller can achieve finite-time convergence of the tracking errors to a practical zero value in the predefined time-base. Results also demonstrated that the convergence time could be arbitrarily selected by the user and achieved by the controller resulting in, as far as the author knows, the first controller with this characteristic for AUVs navigation. The simulations and experiments also showed that the proposed controller outperformed classical and state-of-the-art controllers regarding the Root Mean Square of the tracking errors and energy consumption. Finally, the proposed model-free high-order SMC coordinated two BlueROV2 vehicles in a collaborative manipulation mission without vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Numerical simulation results confirmed that the proposed controller could manage the vehicles to follow a predefined coordinated trajectory to approach, grip, transport, and release an object without communicating with each other.

Audiometría automatizada mediante visión computacional

Automated audiometry througt computer vision

Fernando Serrano Monroy (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

La pérdida de audición se refiere a la disminución de la capacidad auditiva, éste es un proceso progresivo e irreversible, en el que la mayoría de las ocasiones el individuo que presenta pérdida no se da cuenta de su evolución hasta que el proceso se encuentra avanzado. Dado que la audición es la vía principal a través de la cual se desarrolla el lenguaje y el habla, se debe tener presente que cualquier trastorno en la percepción auditiva de un individuo en edades tempranas, afectará su desarrollo lingüístico y comunicativo, sus procesos cognitivos y consecuentemente su posterior integración escolar, social y laboral. Todas estas consideraciones explican la necesidad de detectar este problema en sus comienzos, incluso antes de que el individuo se percate de que existe. La audiometría es una exploración del sistema auditivo, en la cual se mide la capacidad del oído humano de percibir sonidos. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es el diseño y desarrollo de un audiómetro automatizado, que con el reconocimiento de imágenes pueda interpretar la respuesta de la persona al realizar evaluación audiometría, Para ello, se desarrolló un sistema de visión computacional. Se presentan algunos beneficios del audiómetro digital, tales como la realización de pruebas de manera estandarizada para cada persona, la facilidad de almacenamiento de los resultados en formato digital, y la ampliación del acceso a las pruebas auditivas en lugares remotas.

Hearing loss refers to the decrease in auditory capacity, which is a progressive and irreversible process. In most cases, individuals with hearing loss are unaware of its progression until it has advanced. Since hearing is the main pathway through which language and speech development, it is essential to consider that any impairment in auditory perception during the early stages of life will affect linguistic and communicative development, cognitive processes, and subsequently, their educational, social, and occupational integration. All these considerations highlight the need to detect this problem early on, even before the individual becomes aware of its existence. Audiometry examines the auditory system that measures the human ear’s ability to perceive sounds. The main objective of this thesis is the design and development of an automated audiometer that, through image recognition, can interpret a person’s response during audiological evaluations. To achieve this, a computer vision system was developed. Some benefits of the digital audiometer are highlighted, such as conducting standardized tests for each individual, ease of storing results in digital format, and expanding access to auditory tests in remote locations.
