Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonatan Clavero is a Robotics Engineer with a PhD in Robotics and over 11 years of experience, specializing in autonomous mobile robots built with ROS and ROS 2. He designs and ships production-grade navigation stacks (Nav2) and behavior trees for intelligent robot behaviors, currently leading autonomy development at Star Robotics. His research on social robot navigation—combining 3D planning, deep learning perception (YOLO, OpenPose) and context-aware cognitive architectures—has been published in high-impact venues and informed a reference Nav2 paper. A seasoned competition engineer, he’s won challenges like SCIROC’s "Take the elevator" and bridges academic rigor with industry deployments for Spanish, European and commercial projects. Notably, he pairs low-level C++/Python robot software expertise with practical systems skills from earlier security and infrastructure roles, giving him a rare end-to-end view of deployed robotic systems.
