Proyecto PRIC: Protección Robotizada de Infraestructuras Críticas

Esta comunicación resume los trabajos realizados por el Grupo de Robótica y Cibernética (RobCib) del Centro de Automática y Robótica (CAR), formado por UPM y CSIC, en el contexto del proyecto PRIC (Protección Robotizada de Infraestructuras Críticas). Este proyecto tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de sistemas robóticos capaces de vigilar las infraestructuras críticas, detectando las potenciales amenazas e interviniendo cuando sea necesario. Algunos de estos trabajos están encaminados a la detección de anomalías visuales y acústicas, la detección, predicción e interceptación de intrusos, el desarrollo de un robot de pequeño tamaño y un manipulador híper-redundante para intervenir en áreas de difícil acceso, el diseño de una interfaz para misiones multi-robot y la adaptación de herramientas comunes en el mundo de la robótica a los escenarios multi-robot

Resin-tapped pine forests in Spain: Ecological diversity and economic valuation

Since ancient times, Mediterranean pine forests have been habitat for human activity, providing a wide range of goods such as timber, seeds, resin and derived products. Among them, tar and resin have played an historical role on the interaction between human activity and forests. In Spain, the resin played an important role in the economic and social development in rural areas during 20th century. But after 1980, resin production plummeted and the virtual disappearance of resin tapping caused the abandonment of traditional forest activities and the subsequently losses of ecosystem forest services (provision, regulation and cultural). This paper deals with some of the ecosystem services provided by resin tapped pine forests and shows how the abandonment of this traditional forestry activity would lead to a loss of social welfare beyond the economic activity. Among these ecosystem services, special attention is paid to the biodiversity of the pine forests. For that purpose, a stratified vegetation sampling was conducted in the leading resin-tapping Spanish region. Ecological analysis was therefore compared with the social preferences for several attributes associated to resin-tapped pine forests in Spain, including the biodiversity of flora.Financial support from the SUDOE Interreg IV B – UE/EU FEDER/ERDF program (project SUST-FOREST, ref.
