Joao Fernandes Lopes

CS and Autonomous systems student

Specialised in Drones, Robots, Perception Interaction and Control.

I am a student in Computer Science at Université de Bordeaux, currently
in my second year of Master's degree. Specialised in Autonomous
Systems
, Perception Interaction and Control, I am passionate about robotics,
electronics, artificial intelligence and evolving technologies in general.
And actively looking for a job opportunity in these fields.

From a young age, I've always been eager to experiment, discover
and try out new technologies, which led me to study computer science.
I consider myself a serious and hardworking person, and going forward
when the moment of chosing the Master's degree came, my interest in
robotics and the challenges this evolving field have to offer, made me
choose the Autonomous Systems, Perception Interaction and Control
specialisation.

I am currently looking for a job opportunity in the field of robotics, drones,
and the development of autonomous systems in general. I am very
excited to learn and work on a profesionnal level surrounded by
experienced people in the field, giving me opportunities to grow and
develop my skills.

And when I'm not working or studying, I like to spend my time
playing and coaching people on video games, watching movies
with my family, workout at the gym and go out with friends.

Projects

Drone Porteur - 2025

(click the title for more info)

In a group of three students, for our Master 2 graduation project,
we took on the "Drone Porteur" subject. The goal was to
create a solution in order to setup a small drone on a bigger one,
and when it's up in the air initiate a drop sequence. Once
it's done, it will start its mission autonomously and
land when completed.

Several technical skills were required for the project,
for exemple CAD design, electonics knowledge, study of
different APIs in order to make the drones move and
function etc. All the goals were completed in
a little more than two months of work.

RoboCup Project - 2024

(click the title for more info)

What's the RoboCup ? It's a robotics competition
where teams face eachother trying to complete
a set of challenges, and innovate in different
categories such as Soccer, Home, Rescue
and more.

In our case, our team of three students were
tasked to solve the Vision BlackOut challenge
in the Soccer SSL category. Usually the robots playing
are controlled by a camera system, but in this
challenge, the camera system is disabled and the
robots must play using only their sensors (camera).

First Bot - 2024

(click the title for more info)

First Bot is a project made in collaboration with
the Einserb MatMeca Engeneering School. The goal
of the project is to create a robot that can
follow a line on the ground, and avoid obstacles.
In our case, we had two lines to follow, one red line
and one black line.

We had the necessary material given to us such as
a motor, a camera, a raspberry pi and more. Other
challenges we had to this project were kinematics
and odometry of the robot.
