Division ROC-SIANI in La Provincia

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-11-19T12:40:00Z

Last Sunday September 17th 2013, newspaper La Provincia dedicated in its section of science, an article about the work Division ROC-SIANI has been carrying out with underwater gliders, and its participation through the directon of our collegue Antonio González Ramos, member of our division, in several international missions with that kind of robotic vehicles. Here we include a link to a PDF file with the article published in press.

Enrique Fernández Perdomo's Phd Thesis Defense

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-09-30T08:34:52Z

Last September 20th 2013 at 10:00 at the Salón de Actos of the ULPGC'sEdf. Central del Parque Científico Tecnológico the Phd thesis defense entitled "Contributions to Underwater Glider Path Planning" has been presented by our SIANI Phd student, and ULPGC Research Phd Grant Holder Enrique Fernández Perdomo. This Phd Thesis has been carried out under the co-supervision of the division ROC-SIANI members: Antonio C. Domínguez Brito, Daniel Hernández Sosa, and José Isern González. From we would like to give our congratulations to Enrique for his new fresh doctorate title.

Success in the World Robotic Sailing Championship 2013

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-09-11T13:25:00Z

Between September 2nd and 6th 2013, the sixth edition of the World Robotic Sailing Championship (WRSC) 2013 was celebrated in the french city of Brest where a team of our division, ROC-SIANI, has participated. This event has been developed in parallel with the International Robotic Sailing Conference (IRSC) 2013.

Division ROC-SIANI's team was integrated by our colleague Jorge Cabrera Gámez, and our Master SIANI student and Computer Science engineer, Ángel Ramos de Miguel. The team presented the paper “An Embedded Low-Power Control System for Autonomous Sailboats” at the IRSC'2013 conference, and participated on WRSC'2013 competitions, in the category of microsail for one-meter length sailboats, with A-TIRMA, a small autonomous low-consumption sailboat developed at division ROC-SIANI.

Several teams participated in the competition in different categories, and coming from different countries. Concretely, eleven teams participated coming from Germany, Finland, France, Wales, Portugal and Spain (our team). For several days in varied weather conditions, the teams had to face different navigation tests in Brest's surrounding waters. The stellar test this year, organized by the French Navy's Ecole Navale at Brest, was a navigation test carried out in the waters of the bay of Brest, where boats had to traverse a distance of four miles in a completely autonomous way.

In the end, our team got two first prizes, one of them, winning the endurance test in the Microsail category (the Ecole Navale Endurance Special Award), and the other one, managing to rank on the first place in the general classification in the same category (the Best Autonomous Microsailboat Award). Here we congrats the team for this great achievement!.

A-TIRMA is a project developed in our division which has been possible thanks to the conjoint work of several members of Division ROC-SIANI with naval engineers external to our university, and to the generous and disinterested collaboration of the Real Club Náutico de Gran Canaria.

A-TIRMA Master Thesis Project Dissertation

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-08-02T11:58:55Z

Last July 29th 2013, our SIANI's master student, Ángel Ramos de Miguel, has defended his Master Thesis Project at the Real Club Náutico de Gran Canaria. This work has been supervised by our division mebers, Jorge Cabrera Gámez, and Antonio C. Dominguez Brito. In this work an autonomous robotic sailing boat has been developed, A-TIRMA, a low cost robotic sailing platform of easy deployment and small size. Here we want to give our congratulations to Ángel for a work well done.

Next we include some news in relation to the A-TIRMA's dissertation:

New video about our sailing autonomous ship ATIRMA

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-07-04T11:30:43Z

The following video tries to show how our sailing autonomous ship ATIRMA has evolved after the last operative tests we have carried out. We have to congratulate our division colleague Jorge Cabrera Gámez, and out student Ángel Ramos de Miguel whose Final Master Project will be about ATIRMA. Now you have the video.

First Sailing Autonomous Navigation Tests

Antonio C. Domínguez Brito — 2013-04-17T10:45:00Z

Last Saturday April 13th 2013 the first tests of sailing autonomous navigation were done. Our division colleague Jorge Cabrera Gámez, and our Master SIANI's student, Ángel Ramos de Miguel, achieved in a long long day of hard work that everything were successful. So, we have to congratulate both of them!. Below you can find a video witnessing what was done.
