Research
My research interests lie in the areas of Computer Vision and Vision-based Navigation of Robotic Systems.
We have explored the knowledge of biological vision systems in order to develop vision-based navigation and control systems. We consider both the biologically-inspired computer vision processes, sensor geometry (space variant binocular tracking, omnidirectional vision, etc) and representations (spatial, resolution, etc) in an integrated manner.
Some of our results have been implemented in robotic heads and land, flying and underwater vehicles. This research is carried out in the framework of several national and international R&D Projects.

Contact me if you are interested in working in some of these topics.
