    Distributed reconfiguration of distance-based formations with virtual surface constraints
    (IEEE, 2024) Guinaldo Losada, María; Sánchez Moreno, José; S. Zaragoza; Mañas Álvarez, Francisco José
    This paper proposes a method to recover from the failure or loss of a subset of agents in a distance-based formation problem, where the system is initially deployed forming a virtual shield embedded in the 3D space. First, a distributed algorithm is proposed to restore the topology, which is a Delaunay triangulation. After that, the nodes execute a distance-based distributed control law that considers adaptive target distances. These values are computed in parallel by the nodes, which try to reach an agreement with some constraints, given by the desired shield shape. The updating policy is based on events. The results are illustrated through simulation examples.

    Protección de objetivos móviles mediante un enjambre de drones
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidade da Coruña (A Coruña) y el Comité Español de Automática (Barcelona), 2025-09-01) Zaragoza, Salvador; Guinaldo Losada, María; Sánchez Moreno, José
    Se propone una solución C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Air Systems) alternativa y complementaria a las existentes: el uso de un enjambre de drones defensores. Estos drones adoptan una formación de escudo semiesférico para negar el acceso a UAS hostiles al objetivo protegido. La clave de esta estrategia radica en el diseño de una ley de control distribuida que permite que los drones defensores puedan seguir trayectorias, mantener la posición y orientarse en el espacio preservando en todo momento la forma del escudo en función de la ubicación y velocidad del enjambre hostil y el objetivo a defender. Además, la estrategia propuesta es escalable y adaptable a diferentes tamaños de áreas protegidas, desde pequeñas instalaciones hasta grandes regiones geográficas.

    The Ball and Beam System: A Case Study of Virtual and Remote Lab Enhancement With Moodle
    (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), 2015-06-10) Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Guinaldo Losada, María; Heradio Gil, Rubén; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    Web-based labs are key tools for distance education that help to illustrate scientific phenomena, which require costly or difficult-to-assemble equipment. Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is an authoring tool that speeds up the creation of these kind of labs. An excellent proof of the EJS potential is the open source physics (OSP) repository, which hosts hundreds of free EJS labs. Learning management systems, such as Moodle, provide social contexts where students interact with each other. The work described in this paper looks for the synergy of both tools, EJS and Moodle, by supporting the deployment of EJS labs into Moodle and thus enriching them with social features (e.g., chat, forums, and videoconference). To test this approach, the authors have created the ball and beam lab, which helps students of automatic control engineering to train different advanced techniques (robust, fuzzy, and reset control), and compare their performance in relation to a conventional proportional-integral-derivative control.

    Distributed multi-UAV shield formation based on virtual surface constraints
    (Elsevier, 2024-03-30) Zaragoza, Salvador ; Guinaldo Losada, María; Sánchez Moreno, José; Mañas Álvarez, Francisco José
    This paper proposes a method for the deployment of a multi-agent system of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a shield with potential applications in the protection of infrastructures. The shield shape is modeled as a quadric surface in the 3D space. To design the desired formation (target distances between agents and interconnections), an algorithm is proposed where the input parameters are just the parametrization of the quadric and the number of agents of the system. This algorithm guarantees that the agents are almost uniformly distributed over the virtual surface and that the topology is a Delaunay triangulation. Moreover, a new method is proposed to check if the resulting triangulation meets that condition and is executed locally. Because this topology ensures that the formation is rigid, a distributed control law based on the gradient of a potential function is proposed to acquire the desired shield shape and proofs of stability are provided. Finally, simulation and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
