Talks

Talks

Presentations, slides, and academic talks

This archive follows how my technical interests have evolved: from clinical robotics and 3D ultrasound to robot autonomy, embodied intelligence, commercial systems, and rehabilitation-oriented soft actuation.

The records preserve slides where they remain available, but also explain the question behind each presentation and its place in the broader research trajectory.

Research presentations

Peer-reviewed work, experimental results, and conference discussions connected to active research.

Thesis work

Long-form engineering projects translated into a clear technical narrative for evaluation and discussion.

Conceptual study material

Slides and conceptual material created during my studies in the UC3M Robotics and Automation Master’s Program.
