Background
Miguel is an undergraduate engineering student currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering at UNAM. His academic focus is sharply concentrated on the intersection of mechanics, electronics, and control systems, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic challenges of complex robotic systems.
Core Specialization and Research Interests
Miguel’s specialized areas of study and interest are:
-
Biped Locomotion: Actively exploring the theories, control strategies, and mechanical design required for stable and efficient walking in two-legged systems. His work involves analysis of gait patterns, zero moment point (ZMP) theory, and trajectory planning using Reinforcement Learning
-
Multi-Body Dynamics: Miguel does research in mathematical modeling and simulation of interconnected rigid and flexible bodies. This expertise is critical for accurately predicting the behavior of robotic mechanisms, allowing for robust design and control.
-
Humanoid Robotics: he integration of the above topics to design, analyze, and implement control systems for human-like robots. His interests include balance control, whole-body motion planning, and the development of actuators suitable for anthropomorphic platforms.
Academic Strengths
He demonstrates proficiency in core engineering disciplines, including control theory, real-time programming (e.g., C/C++, Python), mechanical design (CAD/FEA), and sensor fusion. Miguel is seeking to transition his strong theoretical background into impactful research and development roles within humanoid robotics area.
