Protagonized a Docuseries about 3 engineers that in each episode are dropped in a remote location in the Amazonian Jungle or the Desert of Jalapao in Brazil and challenged to use our scientific knowledge to find a way out in 2 days by building vehicles and communication systems with reused materials that are found on the way. The other two engineers are Brazilians and were only allowed to speak Portuguese while I was only allowed to speak Spanish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMaFYKazyZs

Founder and volunteer teacher of the project “Alhii Robot O’dam” (Tepehuan Robot Kid) which aims to reduce the digital divide, encourage the study of higher education and improve the quality of life the in the Mexican indigenous communities by teaching robotics to their middle and high school students. 40 middle and high school students graduated from the basic and advanced courses. They were thought how to connect basic electronic circuits, solder components to a PCB and write simple Arduino programs.

Undergraduate researcher developing and testing vision algorithms in C++ with OpenCV to control the autonomous flight of hexacopter and quadcopter drones. Delivered weekly presentations about the research progress to the faculty advisor. Worked in team with 2 master students; one doing structural and dynamic analysis of the drones and the other one in charge of electronics and communication systems.

Vision system’s research to develop an algorithm that solves a light profile’s calibration problem in the images taken by the automatic tile selector “Qualitron”, improving their characteristics for further analysis. Development of automated measurement and communication systems for the quality control of production in the Ceramics industry. Programming in C++ and TwinCAT 3. Applications with Beckhoff's hardware and communication protocols: Ethernet, EtherCAT, OPC UA and UDP.

Developed communication protocols and databases to integrate the main control of automated warehouses with the client’s ERPs, PLCs and robots. Project scheduling with Gantt Charts. 3 weeks training in Italian headquarters.

Developed a standard for user interfaces and main control applications with LabView. Developed databases in Microsoft SQL. Designed mechanical structures in SolidWorks for industrial automated tests and manufacture systems. Redacted user manuals and technical reports.

Developed programs to control the walking and movement of a NAO robot. Tested object recognition algorithms with the cameras of a NAO robot. Participated in the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition NAO 2015.
