Postdoctoral research at the University of Seville. Development of flapping-wing autonomous robots capable of performing manipulation, perching and carry meaningful payload. Bird bioinspiration is a key driver in improving the performance and abilities of such challenging systems.
Practical and theoretical investigations into miniature aerial-aquatic robots capable of movement in both air and water. Extensive experimental work which resulted in several prototypes with unique locomotion strategies. Successfully defended 27 sept 2019.
Development of a micro legged robot of 2.5 grams, the Harvard Ambulatory Micro Robot (HAMR), involving key advances in piezoelectric actuators, micro PCB fabrication, wireless implementation. Supervision by Prof. R.J. Wood
Micro-engineering bachelor and master, emphasis on electrical, mechanical, micro-systems, material science and embedded product/robots design.
