Javier Yebes, PhD. RobeSafe, UAH
Welcome
I am a Machine Vision Engineer at GOBOTiX Ltd. currently working on R&D consultancy projects for the deployment of vision technology in autonomous robotics. Former PostDoc and PhD student
under the supervision of Prof.
L. M. Bergasa, who is the director of RobeSafe at the Department
of Electronics, University of
Alcalá (UAH).
Machines in general and robots in particular could support us in
many everyday tasks. In fact, they will be active players in our
future lives. Then, let's provide them a smart and accurate
perception of the world and, let's try to get closer to the
amazing and infinite human perception and learning capabilities.
Image sensors capture world information in 2D format, but what are
the pixels for a robot or an intelligent vehicle? Let's do some
amount of R&D to provide them a meaningful 3D world by using
Computer Vision techniques and Machine Learning methods.
