Biography

Jordi Pegueroles obtained his master’s degree in Engineering on March 2011 at “Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya” (UPC, Barcelona, Spain). He started his research activity in the “Institut de Robòtica I Informàtica Industrial”, (IRI, Barcelona, Spain). In 2008 he followed a research fellowship in the framework of “the Humanoid-Lab”, a student’s oriented project to develop a complete humanoid robot for competing in a national contest, obtaining fourth and second place in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

In 2010 he obtained his Master’s thesis project at the “Politecnico di Torino”, Italy. During the stage in Italy he helped developing a kid-seized humanoid robot for competing at the international contest “Robocup”. The aim of the thesis was to develop a smart sensor in order to give the robot the ability to walk compensating its dynamics.

Currently, he is developing his PhD at the “Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya”. His major interest is in the integration of renewable energy sources in the distribution grid through the research in micro-grids.
