Leonardo Project: Reinforcement Learning

The fourth video is out! This video describes the models (neural networks) and training (reinforcement learning) used by the robot to learn its tasks. Don't miss it!

Leonardo Project: The simulator

The third video of my project "Training robots for intervening in dangerous environments: development and application of reinforcement learning models" granted by a Leonardo Fellowship of the BBVA Foundation is out! This video shows the simulator developed to train the artificial intelligence models that control the robot in its mission.

Leonardo Project: Mission and robot

The second video of my project "Training robots for intervening in dangerous environments: development and application of reinforcement learning models" granted by a Leonardo Fellowship of the BBVA Foundation is out! In this video, I present the search and rescue mission and the robot that performs it.

Leonardo Project: An introduction

My project "Training robots for intervening in dangerous environments: development and application of reinforcement learning models" granted by a Leonardo Fellowship of the BBVA Foundation is finishing soon. For this reason, I have prepared a series of videos where I explain the project. In this first video I present the project, talking among other things about robotics, autonomy, artificial intelligence, machine learning, reinforcement learning or imitation learning.

Videogames developed in class in 2021-2022

These videogames have been developed by the students of Introduction to Videogame Programming (Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Autonomous University of Madrid) during the academic year 2021-2022. Proud of how far we have come in such a short time!

Somos Científicos y Científicas

 

This month I have taken part in the Somos Científicos y Científicas initiative of the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y Tecnología (FECYT). During this time, I have had the opportunity to answer the questions of high-school students from all over Spain. They have asked me amazing questions about robotics and artificial intelligence, researchers' life, and how to become a robotics researcher. "Will robots take away our jobs?", "What will robots do in 20 years?", "How does AI work with robots?" or "What is the relationship between Maths and AI?" were some of these questions. 

A new office partner!

The works of my Leonardo Fellowship are progressing. I have acquired an autonomous ground robot to perform the experiments. However, this robot will be important beyond this project. It will support my research on multi-robot systems, machine learning in robotics, adaptive and immersive interfaces, and robotics applied to agriculture.
