I am a Ph.D. student of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) doctoral program under the supervision of Dr. Claudio Semini (DLS), Dr. Massimiliano Pontil (CSML), and Dr. Carlos Mastalli (RoMi). I received a Masters’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-Barcelona Tech) and a Bachelors’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering from the Universidad Nacional De Colombia (UNAL).
I am interested in exploiting continuous and discrete symmetries of robotic systems in machine learning applications for robotics, specially for legged locomotion control.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in doing your Bachelor’s/Master’s thesis on symmetry exploitation methods for robot learning/control, or computational design.

Assisted in projects of:
Research project: Manipulation of plastic bags (deformable materials) using a two-arm robot and 3D vision guidance. The system used multi-viewpoint stereographic cameras to detect the 3D structure of the material, infer robot grasping points, and plan and execute robot manipulations to reach the target material topology.
I worked in the manipulation system for handling deformable materials, using a two-arm industrial robot, 3th-party vision guidance, and force feedback. Additionally, I participated in the designing and construction of robot vacuum grippers for plastic bag manipulation and automation of robot tasks for a biotechnology laboratory, force/torque feedback.
