Robotics R&D Researcher
Education

Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora
2019 - 2023Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Electrical Engineering - Robotics PhD thesis in Robotics and Computer VisionActivities and Societies: Grupo de Robótica Inteligente - GRIn Developing a novel approach on environment and equipment 3D reconstruction for industrial applications. An edge-fog architecture is under development, to allow for many robots to work in parallel and offload data to a central processing node. With the results, many applications arise, such as:Digital Twins for remote industrial control;Augmented and Virtual reality applications for staff training and remote inspection.
