I'm
senior researcher at the Institute of Robotics and
Intelligent
Systems at ETH Zurich, working with the
Autonomous Systems Lab.
I'm also the managing director and responsible for
education in the
ETH
initiative RobotX.
Previously, I was a Senior Researcher at School of Computer Science of
The University of Adelaide, and a Postdoc at CS Department of
George Mason University. I got my PhD in the
Department of Computer Science and System Engineering at the University
of Zaragoza.
My main research interest lies in the interception of perception and
learning in robotics. I am particularly interested on how to provide
machines the capability of understanding this ever changing world
through the sensory information they can gather. I have work
intensively on robotic scene understanding, both geometry and
semantics,
covering semantic mapping, data association and place recognition
tasks, simultaneous localization and mapping problems, as well as
persistent mapping in dynamic environments. I have a focus on
developing robust, modular, and introspective perception systems.
