Summary
Rodrigo Da Silva Guerra is a robotics researcher and associate professor with 11 years of experience applying AI, machine learning, neural networks and computer vision to industrial and cognitive-robotics problems. He leads industry-driven research projects at iTec/FURG Embrapii while teaching and supervising research at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, bridging academic rigor with practical deployment. His background spans developmental robotics and brain science (PhD, Osaka) through postdoctoral and international visiting roles, including biologically inspired studies of insect behavior and micro-robot experiments. Rodrigo’s work notably blends simulation, embodied robots and augmented-reality tools to investigate cooperation, imitation and emergent social behaviors—skills he uses to translate complex cognitive models into real-world automation solutions in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul.
