Escobedo-Cabello, Jesús Arturo

Dr. Jesús Arturo Escobedo Cabello earned his degree in Electronic Engineering with honors from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México. In 2007, he was awarded the National ANFEI Prize (National Association of Engineering Faculties and Schools) as one of the top engineering graduates in the country. He later pursued a Master of Science in Microelectronics at the Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica (ESIME) of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), focusing on computer vision and mobile robotics. During this period, he received a scholarship from the Mexican Council for Science and Technology, which enabled him to carry out a research stay at the French laboratory GIPSA-lab (Grenoble Images Parole Signal Automatique), where he collaborated on robotic vision projects. His master¿s thesis was developed within the framework of the NECSCar project (Networked Controlled Systems Car), a mobile robot prototype resulting from the collaboration between GIPSA-lab and the French research institute INRIA Rhône-Alpes (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique), both located in Grenoble, France. He continued his academic training in France, where he obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics, Information Sciences and Technologies from the Université de Grenoble, in collaboration with INRIA Rhône-Alpes. His doctoral research focused on developing assistive mobile robotics solutions aimed at facilitating mobility for older adults and individuals with diverse abilities. His Ph.D. thesis was funded by the European project PAL (Personally Assisted Living), led by INRIA Rhône-Alpes, which aimed to design technologies that improve the quality of life for people experiencing loss of autonomy due to age, illness, or accidents. Dr. Escobedo Cabello is a member of Mexico¿s National System of Researchers (Level I) and part of the alumni network of the International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP), the international leadership program of the United States Department of State. He currently serves as a professor-researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he leads research projects in the areas of mobile robotics applied to precision agriculture, autonomous navigation, and human-robot interaction. He has published numerous scientific articles in high-impact indexed journals (JCR Q1 and Q2), consolidating his profile as an active researcher in mobile robotics, robotics applications in precision agriculture, and autonomous robot navigation.
