I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at ISLAB/CAISR. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Örebro University. I received my PhD in robotics from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), at Barcelona, Spain, in April 2013. My research has focused on different aspects of autonomous mobile robot navigation, from perception (SLAM, Mapping, Localization) to action selection problems (path planning, exploration, planning under uncertainty).
