This past November 11 was a very important day for the GRVC. Our colleague Álvaro Caballero Gómez carried out the reading and defense of his doctoral thesis “Motion planning with dynamics and environment awareness for aerial robotic manipulation in inspection and maintenance”, directed by Aníbal Ollero Baturone and Manuel Béjar Domínguez.
The examination committee was made up of José Guillermo Heredia Benot (University of Seville), Giuseppe Loianno (New York University), Fernando Gómez Bravo (University of Huelva), Miguel Ángel Trujillo Soto (Advanced Center for Aerospace Technologies) and Jesús Iván Maza Alcañiz (University of Sevilla). The thesis was evaluated with the “sobresaliente” (outstanding) highest grade.
