Work experience

Research Intern

Universidad Anáhuac Querétaro

July 2026 — Present

Remote

Implementing the ROS2 pick-and-place pipeline for a waste-sorting robot, integrating a UR5 manipulator with a 3D vision system for organic-waste detection and classification.

  • ▹Building the perception-to-manipulation bridge that fuses 3D object localization with a trained classification model to identify waste type, feeding pick targets to the UR5 motion pipeline via MoveIt 2.
  • ▹Containerized the ROS2 Humble workspace with Docker and set up Tailscale-based remote access for development and testing across the lab's UR5 hardware.
