AUtomation RObotic and Artificial Vision (AUROVA) Groups - University of Alicante

The Automation, Robotics and Artificial Vision (AUROVA) group has carried out research work at the University of Alicante (UA) since its creation in 1996, mainly within R&D&i projects, financed both with grants from public calls as through contracts with companies. The results of these projects are reflected both in scientific production and in specific applications for the regional industry. All the projects carried out in recent years have been led by researchers from the group, and most are financed by national or European competitive public calls.
