RobotI'm a Roboticist that holds a PhD in Robotics from the University of Glasgow in UK and a BEng in Mechatronics Engineering from UNAM in Mexico. I'm a Robotics Hardware and Software Systems Integrator with a strong background in Artificial Intelligence. I analyze the robotic systems needs and provide a plan for problem solving, integration and solution mainly for mobile robots (aerial, ground or water). I'm a persistent complex problem solver and proficient at designing things that actually work.
I'm a simple guy trying to transform the world (rather my surroundings) with cool gadgets such as robots, will I change the world or will the world change me? I still don't know.
I hold a PhD in Robotics for the University of Glasgow focusing on Unmanned Aerial Systems. Before starting my doctoral candidature, I completed my undergraduate studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where I received my degree from the Engineering Faculty (FI) doing the studies of Mechatronics Engineering.

C2RO’s uses proprietary real-time cloud AI to provide data driven businesses with global analysis and recognition tools to transform their physical spaces into highly personalized and interactive smart environments. Aldo is a key technology gate-keeper, specializing in making projects successful, and training staff in design, monitoring and optimization of technologies and combined remedies.
C2RO’s mission is to increase the autonomy of robots and enable multi-robot collaborations for performing complex tasks. Our cloud-based platform connects robots and processes their sensor data in real-time in a secure and reliable manner. Using our product, robots can share knowledge using the latest advancements in artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms.
Developing robotic software and hardware for applications that help to increase the autonomy of robots and enable multi-robot collaborations for performing complex operations. Some tasks:
ALTAX Unmanned Systems Consultancy, is a firm dedicated to share our expertise and knowledge to help Unmanned Systems Business attain their goals and solve problems. In a more general sense, we are individuals with vast knowledge and experience in the Unmanned Systems Industry.
Fully solving problems by designing the Unmanned System from ground up, tailored specifically to the needs of the application to ensure maximum performance while keeping cost low. Applications like: object tracking, realtime object recognition and so forth.
Clients include companies from United Kingdom, Canada, USA, China, Mexico, Israel and Germany.
Developing an Unmanned Aerial System to be able to track pollinators to aid on research for the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford. Tasks including:
Lecturer, Graduate Teaching Assistant, tutor and demonstrator for several engineering courses at the University of Glasgow for undergraduate and postgraduate students (MsC), including:
IdF-UNAM. Development of micro UAV’s network for cooperative task’s. Projects done:
Specialist leader on Emergent Technologies for the biggest dairy company in America.
Senior web developer for one of the biggest media company in Mexico City, in charge of building several websites for different radio stations.
Web developer for the General Office of School Administration. Link.
Lead developer and technology consultant for a model hobby company (ViveModelismo), in charge of selecting/testing/repairing Radio Control models (airplanes, helicopters, boats), also managing the IT department of the company.
My educational background from university.
Developing GNC (Guidance, navigation and control) algorithms for Unmanned Systems (Drones).
This course is part of the Management of Technology program at the Berkeley as well as the new Engineering and Business Sustainability Certificate Program. The focus of the course was on innovation process for sustainable products, from product definition to sustainable manufacturing and business models.
The purpose of this interdisciplinary engineering field (Mechatronics) is the study of autonomous systems from an engineering perspective and serves the purposes of controlling advanced hybrid systems.
I am absolutely passionate about simple yet sophisticated technology.

A system and method for performing distributed facial recognition divides processing steps between a user engagement device/robot, having lower processing power, and a remotely located server, having significantly more processing power. Images captured by the user engagement device/robot are processed at the device/robot by applying a first set of image processing steps that includes applying a first face detection. First processed images having at least one detected face is transmitted to the server, whereat a second set of image processing steps are applied to determine a stored user facial image matching the detected face of the first processed image. At least one user property associated to the given matching user facial image is then transmitted to the user engagement device/robot. An interactive action personalized to the user can further be performed at the user engagement device/robot.
