P R O J E C T S

Degree project focused on the implementation of a sensor network for a bioinspired quadruped robotic platform, integrating devices such as IMU, tactile sensors, gas sensors, current sensors, camera, LiDAR, GPS, and microphone. Communication was developed using industrial protocols

(CAN, UART, I2C, and SPI) under the ROS 2 middleware, along with an interface for real-time data visualization and system validation through unit testing and functional integration

Drone formation for unstructured environments

University project focused on integrating DJI Tello drones with ROS 2, developing a technical guide for communication via UDP and a Python library for individual and swarm control. An interface was implemented for interaction between ROS 2 and multiple drones, with simulations and flight tests. The work was documented and published on GitHub, including code and usage guide
