That's Who I Am
In cronological order: Son. Brother. Engineer. Husband. Father of two. Also Full Time Geek.
I started my professional career in 2006 as a systems administrator in Ingenia. My next stop was at the GRVC of the University of Seville, working for five years as a research assistant in robotics (PhD assault pending).
At some point I decided to go back to my city of birth (Córdoba) and enjoying two fantastic years at Wimasis, where the seed of Onimagin Technologies was planted.
Later, in 2014, I decided to face entrepreneurship and selfemployment starting a long colaboration with Phytoplant Research
After several intense years supporting the Phytoplant Research team, in 2016 I was part of the birth of Onimagin Technologies project as co-founder, where we were transforming images into data and reality.

Master Thesis. University of Sevilla.
Abstract: En la página oficial del Máster, se define la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) como la disciplina que se ocupa de la investigación básica en la implementación de cada una de las habilidades relacionadas con la inteligencia humana. Así, los Sistemas Inteligentes se encargan de aplicar la investigación, tratando de solucionar problemas ya existentes o mejorar nuestra forma de trabajar o calidad de vida aplicando técnicas de Inteligencia Artificial. Este Trabajo Fin de Máster (TFM) es sin duda un poquito de todo eso, ya que trata de aplicar dichas técnicas y metodologías a un problema universal del ser humano, como es el transporte, en concreto en la conducción de vehículos, un campo de trabajo que podría facilitar enormemente la calidad de vida de las personas, usándose como sistemas de asistencia a la conducción o incluso disminuir el número de accidentes y muertes en accidentes de tráfico.
Bachelor Thesis. University of Sevilla
Abstract: Este proyecto fin de carrera se centra en recoger el trabajo desarrollado por el autor en el contexto del proyecto URUS, desde septiembre de 2008 hasta junio de 2009, a través de una beca en el Grupo de Robótica, Visión y Control, participante activo del proyecto URUS. Dicho trabajo consistió principalmente en el diseño y realización de una interfaz hombre máquina para el control del robot Romeo-4R, así como alguna labor de soporte y apoyo en otros aspectos del mantenimiento y desarrollo de los módulos del robot, destacando en estos aspectos el desarrollo del sistema de análisis Post-Misión, o aplicación Logplayer, para la reproducción de los experimentos realizados en la realidad en un entorno de simulación.
Research Paper. Pérez, D., Maza, I., Caballero, F., Scarlatti, D., Casado, E. and Ollero, A. Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems: Theory and Applications.
Abstract: This paper presents the ground control station developed for a platform composed by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance missions. The software application is fully based on open source libraries and it has been designed as a robust and decentralized system. It allows the operator to dynamically allocate different tasks to the UAVs and to show their operational information in a 3D realistic environment in real time. The ground control station has been designed to assist the operator in the challenging task of managing a system with multiple UAVs, trying to reduce his workload. The multi-UAV surveillance system has been demonstrated in field experiments using two quadrotors equipped with visual cameras.
Proceedings. Heredia, G., Cobano, J.A., Pérez, et al. Workshop on Research, Development and Education on Unmanned Aerial Systems (RED-UAS).
Abstract: This paper presents a new system for the rapid development of integrated 3D terrain maps using a lightweight Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) mounted on a light UAV. One of the ALS is the generation of digital terrain models and digital surface models. ALS is usually done with manned aircraft or medium to large size Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Also, a camera is mounted on the UAV and an image mosaic is built from aerial images. The system can be transported in a small van and deployed and operated by two persons in short time, and therefore it can be used in time-critical event response systems for emergency situations. Experiments have been performed in a Spanish airfield.
