Welcome to my personal homepage. Here you can find information and pointers related with my research work in machine consciousness and cognitive robotics.

Currently I am working on my PhD thesis on Machine Consciousness and my research is centered in the development of a cognitive architecture for autonomous robots called CRANIUM/CERA. I have also proposed a scale for measuring Machine Consciousness called ConsScale. If you are interested in the scientific study of consciousness and the possibility of reproducing consciousness in machines you should check out the portal www.Conscious-Robots.com.

My current development work is based on the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio platform, that I've been using since the earliest CTP versions were released. The physical robot that I'm using is a Mobilerobots Pioneer 3DX base. Some of my services and source code are available in the Conscious-Robots.com pages for Robotics Studio.

If you are interested in any of these topics feel free to participate in the Conscious-Robots.com forums.
