Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJuan-diego Florez is a PhD robotics researcher at Georgia Tech with six years of experience developing perception-driven autonomy for human-robot collaboration and space inspection missions. He leads development of SatSLAM, a monocular vSLAM and multi-agent Gaussian Splatting pipeline for orbital relative navigation, and has extended it for distributed, real-time multi-robot estimation and photorealistic dataset generation. His background blends mechanical design, control (ROS/C++ impedance controllers), and factor-graph optimization (GTSAM), applied across bio-inspired actuators to satellite rendezvous systems. He directs undergraduate hardware upgrades to validate algorithms on ASTROS and COSMOS platforms, demonstrating both software and hands-on systems engineering. Based in Atlanta, he combines rigorous academic research with practical implementation experience and a knack for translating artistic motion modeling into robotics insight.
