At the beginning of this year we offered students from several universities the opportunity to do their internship at our lab, and as a result we now have seven interns at our premises making a great contribution to our research and development activities! Time to introduce to you our Class of 2010!
Pablo Garcia is from Albacete, a small city close to Madrid. He decided to come to Barcelona to do the Masters Automation and Robotics at the UPC (Universidad Politecnica de Calatuña). In the morning he works at our lab and in the afternoon he works on his final master’s project: "Automatic Calibration of the Odometry and Laser Sensor Parameters in Mobile Robots". ‘At PAL Robotics there is an exceptional atmosphere. Everybody works really hard but people are always in a good mood! I think this is one of the most important things about working in a group!'
Victor López is from Barcelona, he studied at UPC in the Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB). He’s working on a Supervisor Agent for a Humanoid Robot framework and has been working at PAL Robotics since 5 months. During his time at the company he has learned a lot about robotics, software design and specially C++ programming. ‘This internship has been a great opportunity because I believe I've been very lucky to work with and learn from such brilliant people that work here.’
Jordan Palacios is from Argentina and has been living in Spain for six and a half years now. He recently started working at the lab and still doesn't have a clear project in mind. Though he would like to start something very soon! ‘So far PAL seems great, the environment is relaxed and cheerful, combined with the perfect amount of hard work and dedication.’
Michael Delgado is a Barcelona native and studies at FIB (Facultat d'Informàtica de Barcelona). At the moment he’s finishing the last subjects of this year. His work at PAL Robotics is focused on programming interfaces. Michael enjoys working in a multilingual team. ‘Working at PAL Robotics is awesome! I’m learning a lot about programming and at the same time I’m improving my language skills.’
