New Generation of Multivariable Predictive Controllers based on Computational Intelligence for the control of industrial processes with complex dynamics (neoPREDiCOM).

NeoPREDiCOM is a project coordinated between the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). Specifically with the Intelligent Control Research Group (GICI) (https://www.ehu.eus/es/web/gici/). Main goals: There are two types of objectives: specific scientific objectives (where their achievement...

Design, Construction and Control for Optimal Mission Management of Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Distributed Propulsion (HYDRONE) Based Extended Range Unmanned Aircraft (UAV) Missions

Design, Construction and Control for Optimal Mission Management of Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Distributed Propulsion (HYDRONE) Based Extended Range Unmanned Aircraft (UAV) Missions

The HYDRONE project, which started last September 2021 and is funded by the State Research Agency in its program for young researchers, seeks the hybridization of hydrogen cells with current LiPo batteries, commonly used in most commercial drones used in civilian applications. The HYDRONE team, formed by researchers from the Instituto de...
