Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndres Ramírez is an Associate Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow with a decade of experience at the intersection of child–robot interaction, computer vision, and robot artificial cognition. He combines a PhD in Electrical Engineering with a strong background in mechatronics and industrial automation to design ROS-based robotic systems that engage children in experimental and educational settings. As a researcher and educator who has held academic posts across Colombia and the UK, he blends rigorous experimental methods with hands-on system integration and deep learning for perception. His work emphasizes socially-aware robot behaviour and practical deployment, reflecting an uncommon mix of classroom teaching, applied robotics, and advanced vision research.
