Work History

Pal Robotics

Barcelona, Spain
Mar 2007 - Present
Artificial Intelligence Research Engineer 

Research and development of navigation systems for humanoid robots. Using the navigation system, a humanoid robot should be able to map the environment, localized on it, and move autonomously on the environment while avoiding obstacles.

Pivetal

Southampton, United Kingdom
2000 - 2002
Analyst and Knowledge Engineer 

Luz Negra

Barcelona, Spain
1995 - 1999
Technical Manager and Researcher 

Education

Technical University of Catalonia

Barcelona, Spain
2003 - 2010
PhD, Artificial Intelligence

Development of an artificial neural network based architecture for the control of complex robots. The architecture uses small neural networks distributed all around the robot with no central controller, and learns its control policy by means of a progressive design of staged evolution.
