IKERBASQUE Research Professor

Jaime received his B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Computer Science (Systems Engineering) from the Valencia Polytechnic University (UPV, Spain), in 1990 and 1993 respectively. He received his Ph.D. in robotics and control systems from Middlesex University (UK) in 1998, and worked in the underwater robotics industry as a software and control systems analyst until 2003. In 2004 he joined the Centre for Autonomous Systems in UTS (Australia), now the UTS Robotics Institute, where he is an Associate Professor. He joined AZTI as an Ikerbasque Research Professor in April 2023. His areas of interest span across the field of robotics, most notably: modelling sensor behaviours for perception and mapping, computational Intelligence in HRI – assistive robotics in particular, and robot navigation – and condition assessment for infrastructure maintenance (in close collaboration with the water industry in Australia).
