Problem

Prometheus 3.0 is an avatar humanoid robot — the first in Mexico — built by Inbiodroid, a finalist company in the ANA Avatar XPRIZE. For autonomous navigation, the robot needed an accurate map of its surroundings.

My role

Embedded engineer intern and the youngest member of a 10-person engineering team.

Approach

  • Designed and integrated a LiDAR-based SLAM system for autonomous navigation.
  • During the internship, co-invented a telepresence control system (Mexican patent pending).

Results

  • SLAM system achieving under 5 cm mapping accuracy.
  • The telepresence control system improved response latency by about 20%.
  • Presented Prometheus 3.0 to government officials.
