VICOROB - Computer Vision and Robotics
The Computer Vision and Robotics (VICOROB) is a research group at the University of Girona specialized in developing applications in the fields of Computer Vision and Robotics. This is a group created in 1993, with multidisciplinary integration of research staff with academic backgrounds with complementary technical and administrative staff support and development. It currently has a staff of 70 people around the world. The result is an intense activity in both basic research and in applied research, with contributions in the academic and projects in the field of technology transfer.
Research Activities
National and International Projects Experience
VICOROB want to be one of the focal points in Europe in their field of research, especially in its main lines of research. We are a research group recognized by the Generalitat of Catalonia (2009SGR00380) with distinction from the center of the Technological Innovation Network in 2008, current network TECNIO

TRIDENT: Marine Robots and Dextrous Manipulation for Enabling Autonomous Underwater Multipurpose Intervention Missions
The project proposes a new methodology for multitasking intervention under water with various potential applications such as underwater archeology, oceanography and offshore industries, and goes beyond the methods and manned / or systems of construction of multiple use. TRIDENT is based on new forms of cooperation between autonomous art of the surface and underwater autonomous operation of a vehicle. + info

RAUVI: RGeneric and intelligent robot with autonomous navigation and Operation for depth of 500m.
RAUVI The main objective of the project is to develop and improve the technologies required to perform independently a mission to intervene in underwater environments. The approach can be summarized in two different stages: (1) survey and (2) intervention. First, the I-AUV explores the region of interest, using visual and acoustic data, synchronized with the navigation of the robot. Then the surfaces of robot, and the information is downloaded to the base station, where they built a computer reconstruction of the region explored. + info
