Guillermo Urcera Martín

I’m a first year Master’s degree student in Industrial Engineering, coursing a specialization in automation and robotics at the School of Engineering of Barcelona (ETSEIB, UPC).

I’m very interested in robotics and control theory and have worked as a collaborator and research assistant at the robotics division research group of the Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering, where I was able to learn and use the robotics framework of ROS.

I employed ROS to build a simulation environment for the use of the in-house developed BMM robots; KUKA LWR mounted on omnidirectional mobile platforms.

I’ve also expanded my knowledge independently via various pet projects, which include the construction of a differential drive mobile robot powered by a Raspberry Pi SoC running Ubuntu ARM and ROS and a slave Arduino Mega. The webpage you’re currently viewing is also self-hosted on another Raspberry Pi computer.

I enjoy looking up at the night sky with or without my small low power telescope, maybe take a couple of shots, good cinema and taking light hikes around the Collserola mountain range.

I hope this page has helped you to know me a little better. Please feel free to check out my profile on Linkedin, contact me and download any files you might be interested in, including my graduate thesis on Dish Stirling technology.
