Department of Computer Science and Automatic Control · Teaching and research in operating systems, control and autonomous robotics

I am currently an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Department of Computer Science and Automatic Control of UNED. My teaching covers multivariable and predictive control at master's level, and advanced operating systems and systems modeling at bachelor's level. In robotics, I coordinate a three-course Continuing Education program on ROS 2. My main research lines cover control and autonomous navigation of mobile and aerial robots, the development of Mixed Reality and Digital Twin applications for teaching and research, and Multi-Agent Robotic Systems. I also collaborate with the Automatic Control, Robotics and Mechatronics (ARM) research group at the University of Almería on mobile robotics projects applied to greenhouses.
