Welcome to my personal homepage. Here you can find information and pointers related with my work in different technology-related areas: digital entertainment, tech-based business management, social media intelligence, machine consciousness and cognitive robotics.

Management 

- My personal blog about Business Management at EOI Business School. 

Entrepreneurship

- Comaware is the Tech-based company that I founded with Jorge Muñoz as a university spin-off.

Social Media Intelligence

- Work in progress related with Social Media Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis.  

Scientific Research 

- Conscious-Robots.com: my web site about the scientific study of consciousness and the possibility of reproducing consciousness in machines.

- ConsScale.com: my scale for measuring the cognitive development of consciousness in artificial agents.

- More information about Machine Consciousness and the CERA-CRANIUM cognitive architecture can be found in my PhD thesis: Evaluation and Development of Consciousness in Cognitive Systems.

Source Code

- OpenCranium. Open source version of the CERA-CRANIUM cognitive architecture.  

- Some of my development work was 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 at the Conscious-Robots.com pages for Robotics Studio.

Applied Artificial Intelligence

- Data Quality: collaboration with Sigma Data in R&D projects related with data mining, intensive data processing, machine learning, etc.  

- Video Games: most recently I moved onto using the CERA-CRANIUM cognitive architecture for the generation of human-like behavior un computer game bots. In 2010, the team I formed with Jorge Muñoz won the 2K BotPrize competition (a Turing Test for computer game bots).
