Real-Time Precision Positioning System – By Alba Correal Olmo
Electronically controlled precision positioning mechanisms in real time are an increasingly used instrument in industry and research. Among their applications, microelectronic manufacturing, nanotechnology, precision medicine, or space exploration stand out [1]. However, these systems present limitations that hinder their use in all necessary applications. The complexity of their models due to their non-linearity, their high cost, the difficulties in controlling them, especially in real time, their energy consumption or their calibration are some of the problems that still need to be solved today [2]. Thus, the development of this project (which ranges from software design including architecture and digital twin modeling, to the hardware development that implements it), addresses this issues and provides significant results in this regard, offering an alternative solution that satisfies industry standards.

NFC-Based Vehicle Access System – By Alejandro Moral Garballo
In this project, I explored the design of an NFC-based system for vehicle access, aiming to improve security while integrating with emerging automotive technologies. Developing such a system required understanding the legal, technical, and market factors that shape this technology today.
After analyzing these aspects, I designed a passive access solution, selecting STMicroelectronics and NXP for their expertise in radio frequency and automotive systems. The final prototype includes an NFC reader with schematics, manufacturing plans, and tests using development boards. The results confirmed that the system is viable and showed its potential for future applications, such as integrating with vehicle sensor networks or using AI to optimize efficiency and reduce environmental impact. I also explored ways to counter relay attacks, a major security risk in wireless access systems, making the solution more robust and reliable.

Motorbike Suspension Optimization – By Agustín Escalera Zamudio
This thesis focuses on optimizing the suspension system of a motorbike using multibody dynamics and multivariable optimization. The study leverages Simulink MATLAB, with tools such as Simscape Multibody and Parameter Estimator, to model and improve the performance of the suspension system during a racing prototype's passage over a normalized track kerb. The optimization process aims to minimize tyre load variations and reduce vertical movements of the suspended mass by adjusting the damping characteristics of the front and rear suspension systems.
The optimization successfully meets the initial objectives, with clear results visible through the multibody model in Simscape. The Parameter Estimator tool is used to
track the evolution of input parameters and system outputs, providing valuable insights. Additionally, the methodology offers potential for future applications, such as optimizing cornering performance and incorporating more complex models for dampers, springs, and tyres. This work highlights the potential of combining multibody modeling with optimization techniques to improve motorbike dynamics.

Radio-Controlled Electric Car Development – By Francisco José Sánchez Benítez
The presentation titled "Design, Control, and Programming of a Radio-Controlled Car" will focus on the development of a scaled electric vehicle, whose control is based on the integration of hardware and embedded software. This project, awarded with the highest distinction (Matrícula de Honor) and a perfect score of 10 at the University of Málaga, has also been recognized as the best undergraduate thesis defended between 2022-2024 by new students in the Master's program in Automotive Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. It stands out for its approach to the application of advanced technologies in mobility and control electronics. During the presentation, the design and control process of the radio-controlled car will be explained, starting with the selection of key electronic components such as the BLDC motor with trapezoidal excitation, the 24V lithium-ion battery, the control system using a microcontroller programmed in Arduino, and the integration of an ultrasonic sensor for driving assistance. The methodology used for the development of embedded code will be detailed, ensuring communication between different electronic modules via UART to achieve precise control of traction and steering. Additionally, the importance of electronics in the automotive field will be analyzed, emphasizing fundamental aspects such as proper PCB design, correct soldering, and the integration of electronic components. It will be explained how the development of this radio-controlled car served as an experimental platform for applying knowledge in electric motors, energy storage, and embedded systems, consolidating skills in the design and programming of complex electronic systems. Finally, the talk will conclude with a review of the results obtained, the validation tests conducted, and the academic and professional impact of this project. A discussion will also be opened on potential future development lines, exploring improvements in vehicle design and the implementation of new functions, such as the use of more advanced control algorithms and the incorporation of connectivity for autonomous driving.
