Zapopan, Jalisco; May 30, 2023. Automation and Control EngineeringMiguel Alejandro Vízcaíno and Sebastian Rodriguez, have started a research stay in Bilbao, Spain. The project, directed by Professor Mario Acevedo, focuses on flexible robotics and has obtained economic funds through a Pan-American call for research projects.
Functional robots
The main objective of the project is the calculation, design and construction of a rigid and a flexible robot, in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (UPV) and its research group in mechanics. Flexible robots, whose main applications are medical, assistance or manufacturing, can have a direct collaboration with human beings and work at a higher speed than the standard established for rigid robots.
The duration of the project is one year, starting in August 2022 and coinciding with the students' first semester of their major.
This initiative has proven to be a resounding success, as the students have been able to build functional robots. Miguel and Sebastian invite the university community to take an interest in the world of research and become research fellows.
The Universidad Panamericana Guadalajara campus congratulates the students for their interest in the area of research and recognizes their important contribution to the field of flexible robotics. This project is an example of how collaboration between universities can drive scientific and technological advancement. We hope that more students will follow their example and get involved in innovative projects that can transform the world.
