I specialize in the use of inertial systems. My main goal is to be able to provide structure-free, self-contained, portable, unrestricted, miniature, and accurate kinematic motion tracking (6DOF).
Regardless of the level of miniaturization and accuracy that can be achieved, this technology does not do much on its own, and only has a purpose thanks to the collaboration with experts working in various disciplines. Below is an incomplete list:
Current Collaborations

- Dr. Johann Borenstein, Mobile Robotics Laboratory, (UofM): I started my academic and research career at the University of Michigan working under Johann’s supervision (13 years). This period was decisive in my work-life as I had the opportunity to learn and gain experience in the fields of sensors (inertial), data fusion, and robotics.
