My name is Luis Pedraza. I'm and Industrial Engineer, Ms. in Automatic Control (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, UPM). In march 2009 I received a PhD in robotics from the same University. My PhD advisors were Diego Rodríguez-Losada y Fernando Matía.
I started my research activities at the Automatic Control Department in the Industrial Automation Institute of CSIC. In this institution, I was involved in several research projects related with legged robots and industrial automation.
Between november 2004 and september 2009 I was with the Intelligent Control Group of the UPM. With my PhD Thesis, "SLAM Geométrico con Modelado Basado en Curvas Spline" (Geometric SLAM With Spline Curves-Based Modeling), I aimed to solve the problem that arises when trying to model complex indoor environments with simple features such as points or segments.
Since september 2009 I'm with the Robotics Lab (UC3M), involved in both research and teaching activities.
