Research

Projects and outreach

My research is mainly focused on the development of control and navigation techniques for multi-agent robotic systems. The Robotic Park Lab at the UNED Department of Computer Science and Automatic Control supports this research with a complete ROS 2 work system with mobile robots and MAVs (Micro Aerial Vehicles). For research lines, group publications and the experimental platform, visit robotic-park-lab.github.io. This page lists the main projects I have taken part in, as well as scientific outreach activities.
