SUMMARY

I received the degree in electronics engineering and the MS degree in mechatronics engineering at Technical School of Industrial Engineering, University of Málaga. I currently work in the PhD Thesis ‘Reinforcement learning in developmental robotics’. Previous research include: regulation system of sensor data transmission for networked telerobots, web-based interface for mobile robotics, robot modules for sensors-actuators management, and hybrid navigation system for path following. Before robotics I was working for 5 years as R&D engineer at a photovoltaics manufacturing plant and as R&D manager at an energy efficiency company.
