Universidad

There are many things in my life that have led me into a career in research, many turns and changes in the directions that finally brought me to Elche to the Miguel Hernandez University where I began my Ph.D. program.

I would like to thank all the people who have encouraged me to excel here and the ones who have traveled the path alongside me.
First of all, I would like to thank my parents for cheering me at the beginning of studying, and for providing me all the necessary material to develop my skills, including my first computer that aroused my interest in the computing world.
During my student years in elementary school, high school and the university, I have learned important things from many teachers and professors in many subjects, but I would like to highlight Professor Juan Manuel Garcia Chamizo for believing that I was able to become a scientist and lending me his time for my preparation to apply for grants.
I am very grateful to have shared during my Ph.D. preparation in Elche all the experiences with my research group partners (GATCOM), where I was accepted like one more right upon my arrival: Dr. Otoniel Lopez, Miguel Martinez Rach, Pablo Piñol, Dr. Hector Migallon and Dr. Vicente Galiano. Additionally, a special mention for my office partner, Adrian Cendrán, the group’s laboratory assistant.
During 2010, I performed a six-month stay at Northeastern University in Boston under the supervision of MIT Scientist and IEEE Fellow Professor Milica Stojanovic; special thanks to her and the group at ECE Lab for accepting me and letting me experience one of the most wonderful times of my life.
This thesis has not been an isolated job. I would like to thank my Director, Professor Manuel Malumbres, for guiding me along the way these years, supporting me and making things much easier, for trusting me from the very first day and encouraging me right up until the last one; I will never forget these years.
I do not want to forget my undergraduate friends Pedro and Alex because there is strength in numbers and together we progressed faster than we would have ever done alone.
I also want to thank my family members; my father Jesús, my mother Paqui and my brother Jaime, who made receiving a good education possible, and allowing me to have the chance to decide what I wanted to do in life. Thanks to my girlfriend Angela, because she has always been at my side and has shared both the good and the trying moments, both close or many miles away.
Finally, I offer my regards to all the people I have met throughout my Ph.D. adventure, many friends and colleagues who go unmentioned but who have supported me all this time; the G group, the ZOO people, all the people at San Francisco Church in Elda. Thanks to everyone …

Uno de mis últimos proyectos ha sido comunicar el Samsung Omnia con un brazo robot de la empresa FANUC. Se ha relizado mediante Servicios Web. Un ordenador que hace de servidor se conecta al robot a través de la red local y ofrece un Servicio Web para controlar el robot. El dispositivo móvil de Samsung a través de una aplicación consume el Servicio Web y de este modo dependiendo de la posición obtenida por su acelerómetro envía las ordenes al robot. Existe un retardo notable de  entorno a 1 o 2 segundos ya que hay dos pasos hasta llegar al robot y sobre todo en el primero que es una petición a través de una red hace más lenta la comunicación.

Aquí presento la versión beta del Proyecto MICASA: Interfaz de hogar digital con Windows Media Center. Realizado por:

Javier Fernández Martínez,Jesús Antonio Llor Sirvent, Alejandro Navarra Mira.

Lo primero es que está diseñado para ser usado con el Windows Media Center, pero como supongo que la mayoría no lo tenéis podéis verlo con el Internet Explorer, lo siento yo recomiendo usar Mozilla Firefox pero en este caso solo se ve con IE.

En ella Podréis navegar por un menú de opciones para configurar los parámetros de la casa. Recomiendo ver la parte de “Ambiente-> Iluminación” y la de “Ambiente climatización”. En la parte de “Seguridad->Webcams” como no tengo Webcams en casa y aunque tuviera no os las iba a poner no se ve nada, pero veré si puedo enlazar con alguna, que el día de la presentación gusto mucho esta parte.

Nota: Al estar diseñado para Windows Media Center esta pensado para navegar sentado en el sofá y viéndolo en la tele, con un mando a distancia que tiene un botón para volver atrás por lo que al verlo con un Navegador Web pierde un poco la gracia.

Aquí el enlace para ver el proyecto (Solo con Internet Explorer).
