About Me

Hi, I’m Justo, a Robotics Software Engineering student passionate about building real robots and learning how autonomous systems work in practice. I’m always looking for hands-on opportunities involving mapping, perception, and robot control.

Currently, I lead the SCARA project at RoboTech (URJC Student Association) in which along my team, our goal is to build an autonomous chess-playing robot. Additionally, I have been designing and bulding a quadruped robot from scratch as a side project.

This year, I’m drafting a publication-style project paper on reactive locomotion control for low-cost quadrupeds, based on my latest personal project: a servo-actuated quadruped “robot cat”.

Outside robotics, I enjoy hands-on building, boxing, fishing, video games, creative 3D design, and international experiences.
