One of the critical challenges in mobile robotics is obstacle avoidance, ensuring safe navigation in dynamic environments. In this sense, this work presents a comparative study of two intelligent control approaches for mobile robot obstacle avoidance...

The implementation of inductive compensation in the two-scale models of the extra-high-voltage transmission line, without and with transposition, of the Physical Laboratory of Electric Power Systems (PLEPS) is presented. As they have voltages above t...

Today, there are many security problems at the technological level, especially in telecommunications. Cybercriminals invade and steal data from any system using vector attacks such as phishing through scam mail, fake websites and phone calls. This la...

The High Voltage Laboratory (LABAV) at the Escuela Politécnica Nacional conducts dielectric tests on safety shoes in accordance with the ASTM F2412-18 standard. Additionally, as per the NTE INEN ISO 17025 standard, the laboratory must estimate...

The Ecuadorian electricity sector, until April 2024, presented losses of 15.64% (6.6% technical and 9.04% non-technical), so it is important to detect the areas that potentially sub-register energy in order to reduce Non-Technical Losses (NTLs). The...

This study evaluated the use of GFDM transmission in passive optical networks (PONs) by comparing the performance of coherent and non-coherent optical receivers using OptSim 2023.12sp2 and Matlab 2018b ®. The study concentrated on transmitting 10...

In this paper, four control strategies are developed and evaluated for the trajectory-tracking of a two-degree-of-freedom SCARA-type robotic manipulator: (i) a proportional-derivative controller (PD), (ii) a proportional-derivative controller with fr...

An innovative cascade control strategy is presented in this work, based on sliding mode control (SMC) for trajectory tracking of the formation of mobile robots. The proposed strategy was compared with five alternative control approaches: PID control,...

Ecuador’s Energy Efficiency Law mandates that “as of 2030, all vehicles incorporated into urban public transport services must be electric”. This legal framework sets the stage for the country’s transition to electric mobility...

In recent years, the increasing number of internet-connected devices has exceeded the capacity of fourth-generation (4G) cellular networks, leading to the development of fifth-generation (5G) technology, designed to offer higher speeds, greater bandw...
