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 CERA-CRANIUM.

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 this out: 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 at 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.
