    About Me

    ×

    I'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.

    Who am I?

    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.

    "Aldo is a 'builder' with a relentless mind that never backs down at any challenge. I've had great collaborations with Aldo in developing proof-of-concepts for business ideas and appreciate his ability to piece together several pieces of the end solution! I will recommend Aldo to any organization that needs a builder, a thinker and a professional that executes, 100%."

    Ifeanyi Azolibe, Director of Engineering

    "Aldo is one of the most passionate people that I have seen in Robotics, he is a reliable problem solver, technically strong, and always thinks out of the box to find a way to overcome any challenges. I've known him since 2017, where he impressed me at his first interview for the robotics specialist role at C2RO. His profound expertise in robotics, reliability, ownership, leadership, ability to learn new things, his pleasant attitude, along with his fun personality, made him a core part of the C2RO family right after he moved to Canada for C2RO. We worked together very closely for almost four years. He always follows his passion, which is why he enjoys his work; I am proud of him, and he has my highest recommendation."

    Soodeh Farokhi, Tech Entrepreneur

    "Talking about emerging technologies (robotics, infrared analysers, avionics, etc.) applied to the computer technologies and especially to businesses is a skill that Aldo stands out in. His style is collaborative and a great team-player, always open to learn and contribute."

    Antonio Zamora, Chief Financial Officer

    "He has several skills and knowledge of system analysis, he works great under pressure and he is leaded by oriented result approach"
