Robotics and AI engineer working at the intersection of embodied AI, computer vision, and real-world robots. Now bringing Vision-Language-Action models to AgiBot's humanoid robots at RH Bots.
I studied Robotic Intelligence at Universitat Jaume I and now work as an AI & Robotics Engineer at RH Bots, the official partner of AgiBot in Spain and Portugal. My focus stays on Vision-Language-Action models, now applied to AgiBot's humanoid robots.
AgiBot is one of the fastest-growing robot makers in the world. It rolled out its 10,000th humanoid robot in March 2026, scaling from 5,000 to 10,000 units in just three months, and ranked as the world's top humanoid-robot shipper in 2025.
Before RH Bots, I researched Vision-Language-Action models for the Toyota HSR at the V4R lab of TU Wien in Vienna, supervised by Tessa Pulli under Prof. Markus Vincze. Earlier I co-founded the UJI Robotics Team, led technology at Adagio, an AI accessibility startup, and built systems ranging from ocean-cleaning robots to drone-based 3D reconstruction pipelines. I believe the best engineering feels effortless, simple on the surface and deeply considered underneath.

Best Poster Award · Toyota Global HSR Forum 2026 · 1st Place ICRA 2026 VLA Competition · Santander X Award 2026 · 1st Place ASTI Challenge 2023 · 2nd Place CEABOT 2022 · Premis Talent Award 2023
A selection of projects across robotics, AI, and computer vision, from research prototypes to competition-winning systems.
1st place out of 36 teams at the ICRA 2026 "From Data to Decisions" workshop competition, plus the Best Poster Award at the Toyota Global HSR Forum. Fine-tuned SmolVLA and π0.5 on an 11-DoF Toyota HSR, achieving 60% success rate across 6 real-robot tasks. Proposed per-joint-group evaluation over standard MSE, with paper accepted as poster at ICRA 2026.
End-to-end pipeline: simulated drone captures multi-altitude orbital imagery, bypasses SfM with ground-truth poses, and trains a 3DGS model. Single-command automation via ROS2 + Gazebo + ArduPilot.
AI-powered platform that converts atypical speech into clear text and audio for meetings, classes, and video calls. Fine-tuned Whisper models for non-standard speech patterns. Won the Santander X Award for entrepreneurial projects at Universitat Jaume I 2026 with the highest score of the edition.
Co-founded the university's competitive robotics team as undergraduate-only students. Competed in the European Rover Challenge against graduate and PhD-level teams from top universities, proving that ambition and teamwork can close the experience gap. Also achieved 1st place at ASTI Challenge 2023 and top positions at CEABOT. Multidisciplinary team of 15+ members.
Designed an autonomous robot to collect floating ocean waste using AI and computer vision. Won the best project award, attracting interest from municipalities and coastal cleaning companies.
Academic papers written during my studies, from drone reconstruction to embodied AI.
Whether it's about research, robotics, a collaboration, or just to say hi, I'd love to hear from you.
