My last interview about Gazebo before I left Open Robotics.

Xacro bothered me for years. In 2022, I finally got to put together some templates for folks to use EmPy or ERB instead.

I participated on a panel about robot simulation at ROS World 2021. Panels are always stressful, but I think I didn't make a complete fool of myself 😅

I went back to All Things Open in 2021, this time to give a live demo on setting up simulation-based robot CI.

I'll be giving a presentation soon at #AllThingsOpen! Let's set up simulation-based CI for robots for free using Ignition Gazebo, ROS 2, GitHub actions and Dolly! 🐑🤖 #gzgif@GazeboSim @rosorg @OpenRoboticsOrg https://t.co/ZmypNuKEYN pic.twitter.com/XNF4ew4goW

On September 2021 I gave a presentation about Ignition Gazebo for ARIAC competitors and organizers at the ARIAC 2021 Workshop.

The presentation slides are here.

I'll be giving an intro to 🔥 Ignition Gazebo at the ARIAC 2021 Workshop in about 2 hours.

It's virtual and free, details here: https://t.co/FQJzalN9Kb#gzgif @GazeboSim @OpenRoboticsOrg pic.twitter.com/OCzl1UdtLq

I'm really honored to have been interviewed for the awesome Command Line Heroes podcast.

My interview was featured on season 8, episode 2: "Robot as Software".

Robot simulation software saves time, energy, and money. And as #CommandLinePod shows—it's not just for the newbies. https://t.co/jvoFhJYFwH pic.twitter.com/qgNzoHMjjy

On March 2021 I gave an overview of all Ignition libraries at Open Source 101.

It was an honor to receive the champion award from Silicon Valley Robotics in 2020!

See the article in Louise Poubel wins Champion Award in SVR ‘Good Robot’ Industry Awards.

It was an honor to be interviewed for RedHat's documentary "How to start a robot revolution", next to such amazing people. You can see me on Part 5, and on the extra "Open Sourcing the robot revolution" video.

I love @chapulinaBR’s take about open source robotics from @OpenRoboticsOrg on @redhatopen’s latest series. https://t.co/5pRURV7N7Z pic.twitter.com/1xN00ohHBC

Since October 2020 I've been the host of monthly meetings with the Ignition community.

I've also presented at some of them. See the full playlist 👇

All Things Open was fully virtual and free in 2020. This was my first talk using SimSlides and Ignition. Super fun!

The simulation source code is here!

Uma introdução a ROS e Gazebo em português, como uma prévia ao documentário Open Source Stories.

O evento foi virtual e grátis. O vídeo está disponível no RedHat Forum LatAm.

It was a pleasure to present the first keynote talk at ROS Developers Day 2020! Demoing Ignition with ROS 2 live on the cloud while hundreds of attendees followed along was an awesome experience.

There's also a nice video to go with it:

In the beginning of 2014, I did an internship with the Open Source Robotics Foundation under the Outreachy Program for Women, by GNOME.

I worked on a mobile web client for the Gazebo robotics simulator, called GzWeb.

You can read a summary of the work here !

In 2013 I received a double master's degree from Warsaw University of Technology (Poland) and Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France).

My thesis was entitled "Whole-body online human motion imitation by a humanoid robot using task specificatrion". I did my research under the supervision of Prof. Sophie Sakka.

And here's a video summarizing part of the work which was presented at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA).

I couldn't leave the puzzles out of the 2013 Harlem Shake internet meme.

In 2011 I received a Bachelor of Science in Electromechanical Engineering from Chiba University (Japan).

My thesis was entitled "Proposal of a novel method for oscillating IPMCs with DC input". I did my research under the supervision of Prof. Hiroshi Asanuma.
