Dr. Marco Negrete
Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, UNAM.Justina
A domestic service robot developed at the Biorobotics Laboratory, UNAM. Learn about our participations in national and international tournaments.
Takeshi
Takeshi's hardware is a standard platform developed by Toyota. We use it to develop new algorithms and for testing portability and modularity of software. Our modules must perform the same for Justina and Takeshi.
AutoModel Car
Toretto is scaled model of an self-driving car. It is equiped with a Lidar and a RGB-D camera to test computer vision algorithms for lane-detection, passing, parking, and other self-driving capabilities. An NVidia card is used as a main computing module.
Humanoid Robots
We have a 20 DoF fully actuated humanoid robot. It it intended to partipate at the Robocup Humanoid Kid Size League. Currently, we are working on algorithms to achieve kicking of moving balls.
Math Teaching
As stated by the OECD, education is a key factor for economic development. With this in mind, we are developing learning sequences for math teaching at highschool level. Our premise is that robotics and programming can be taken as learning spaces for math teaching.
Autonomous Navigation
Our most recent publication on autonomous navigation for domestic service robots. This paper describes the navigation system for the robots Justina and Takeshi.
