About Me

Email Instagram LinkedIn GitLab

I am a Mechatronics Engineering student at Ibero Puebla. My work is driven by a fascination with how mechanical systems, electronics, and software converge to solve complex problems.

I focus on learning through prototyping. My experience ranges from autonomous robots to human-computer interaction. I enjoy the process of trial and error, always looking for ways to optimize my designs.

  • Mini CNC Machine: Designed and assembled a functional small-scale CNC, focusing on precision motion control.
  • MDF Robotic Arm: Developed a robotic arm using MDF structure, integrating servos and custom programming.
  • Autonomous Maze-Solving Robot: Full-stack development: mechanical design, custom PCB routing, and algorithm logic.

Weareable Wireless Robotic Arm Controller

My final project focuses on the integration of wearable technology and industrial robotics. Using a gesture-control glove equipped with an MPU6050 inertial sensor and an ESP32-C3, I am developing a system that translates human hand movements into real-time commands for a multi-axis robotic arm.

Goal: To create an intuitive, low-latency interface for remote manipulation and human-robot collaboration.
