Industrial robots have grown over the years making production systems more and more efficient, requiring the need for efficient trajectory generation algorithms that optimize and, if possible, generate collision-free trajectories without interrupting the production process. In this work is presented the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL), based on the Q-Learning algorithm, in the trajectory generation of a robo...
Robotics has been reaching a lot of space in recent years and is evolving every day. Today, robotics is seen as an important area in many applications. Dynamic control is an essential tool for robotics. To design the control, a well-modeled / identified plant is required to have a well-defined controller design. A misidentified system can compromise the project, causing it to have a control effort and a very lo...
Electricity generation is an indispensable factor for society, both for economic and social development. Within this context, renewable sources have been gaining space, one of them being photovoltaic solar. However the efficiency of photovoltaic systems presents nonlinear characteristics due mainly to the variation of temperature and irradiation and, as a consequence, the efficiency achieved. This can be improv...
Considerando o estresse hídrico vivido pelo mundo na atualidade e o desafio da geração deeletricidade sustentável, a utilização da água no setor elétrico é uma importante questão a serestudada. Dessa forma, este trabalho pretende contribuir para um planejamento eficaz depolíticas integradas de energia e água. No Ceará, 65% da energia é produzida por tecnologiasde usinas termelétricas (UTEs) a carvão e gás natur...
Artificial Neural Networks are computational models based on the nervous system of living beings, thus possessing learning ability through the search of patterns. This paper aims to use artificial neural networks to flow forecasting of the Sobradinho reservoir, located in the São Francisco River at Bahia State. Using data natural flow and climatic variables provided by the National System Operator (NSO) and Int...
