Hoy toca estar en el Campus de Aranjuez de la @urjc, como alumno del EUList Summer School on Active Learning for European Universities. Los profesores de universidad , además de investigar, tenemos que formarnos en nuevas metodologías docentes para avanzar profesionalmente 🤓

Rodrigo Pérez-Rodríguez y yo hemos creado una web para hacer accesible nuestro libro de Arquitecturas Software para Robots que hemos creado en el @IntellRobotLabs de la @urjc Incluye el libro y las traspas que hemos usado durante el curso. intelligentroboticslabs.github.io/web_libro_ar...

Arquitecturas Software para Robots – Libro ASR

Libro universitario de Ingeniería de Robótica Software. Cubre arquitecturas, ROS 2, FSM y Behavior Trees con prácticas progresivas. Descarga gratuita en PDF.

I am very happy to announce our talk titled "EasyNav: An open-source framework for navigating everywhere" has been accepted for #ROSCon2026 🚀🥳 With Juan S. Cely and all the #EasyNav Team at @IntellRobotLabs

Next week, I will go to Vienna to participate in ICRA 2026, one of the most important congress of Robotics in the World. I have been invited to give a talk in the RoSE 2026 workshop titled "Designing Navigation Frameworks on ROS 2" See you there!!! 🤓

Thanks, Rubén Arts, for the opportunity of participate in the Pixi blog 🤓 prefix.dev/blog/pixi-at...

🚀 Very happy to announce that Rodrigo Pérez-Rodríguez and I have just signed with Taylor & Francis for the English publication of our Software Architectures for Robots book for the Software Robotics Engineering degree at URJC. The Spanish version will remain freely available.

#FOSDEM26 Here we go!! Our Talk on saturday about #EasyNav is hot topic 🔥

In a couple of weeks, we will be at #FOSDEM presenting our navigation framework for #ROS2, #EasyNav fosdem.org/2026/schedul... in the Robotics and Simulation room fosdem.org/2026/schedul... We hope to meet you there!!

We are looking for good papers to get an outstanding collection 🤓 Consider publishing with us!!!

Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at ROSCon 2025 in Singapore! 🎤 My talk is on the past, present & future of PlanSys2, the ROS 2 standard for symbolic AI planning, used by companies, universities & even NASA in orbit 🚀 Long live PlanSys2!

I am very happy to share that my talk about #PlanSys2 has been accepted to be presented at #ROSCon2025 in Singapore 🤓 It is my first time presenting this project at a live ROSCon. Thanks to the #PlanSys2 contributors. This is also yours!!

Just sent my talk proposal about #PlanSys2 for the ROSCon 2025 at Singapur 🤞 #ROSCon2025 #GoROS

Just received this amazing robotics book, written by a friend and a brilliant mind! Thanks so much, Paco (@fmrico.bsky.social), for the gift and the inspiration. Huge congrats on this achievement. The robotics community needs more work like this! 🤖📘

Un amigo me ha recomendado este libro para pasar estos días de verano 🤓

The second edition of my book will be released on the 4th of July. The book, updated to rolling/kilted, includes two new chapters: 1) Deep ROS 2: Executors, execution model, callback groups and Real-Time. 2) Contributing to ROS 2 software (licenses, git, .) I hope you like 🤓
