  Vision and Robotics center at Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering

  Oct 2015 - Jan 2020

  • During my collaboration in the Vision and Robotics center, I was involved in several projects in which I was in charge of the design and development of hardware and software for embedded systems and microcontrollers. • One of the objectives of my work was to develop long-range and low-cost sensor networks, to achieve that objective I made use of LoRa technology where I developed a communication scheme between sensors and a master device. • One of the activities that I liked the most was piloting the Drone, this was used to capture images within the spectrum of visible and near infrared light, and then process the images and obtain information. I adapted a GPS-RTK system to this Drone to increase precision when mapping a certain area.• I also participated in the improvement of a system to locate a remotely operated submersible vehicle, for this, trilateration techniques and digital processing of audio signals were used.
