Gerardo Aragon Camarasa

Gerardo Aragon Camarasa is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, where he leads research in the Computer Vision and Autonomous Systems group. His work focuses on solving real-world challenges in robotic perception, manipulation, and grasping using advanced AI techniques.

Research Interests:

• Robotics and AI for advanced manufacturing systems
• Perception and manipulation of deformable objects
• Autonomous robotic systems for chemical and domestic applications
• Robot behavior modeling and self-awareness

His publications demonstrate strong emphasis on robotic vision (garment perception, hand-eye calibration), AI integration (multimodal LLMs, reinforcement learning), and industrial applications (chemical robotics, Industry 5.0 ethics). Recent work shows growing focus on foundation models for robotics and simulation frameworks.

Research Leadership: He leads multiple grants including an EPSRC programme grant for chemical robotics and a Royal Society project on robotic teleoperation. Actively supervises 7+ PhD students and has graduated 8+ doctoral researchers in robotics and computer vision.

Infrastructure: Leads research using dual-arm robots and maintains active GitHub repositories and YouTube channels demonstrating robotic manipulation systems. Regular contributor to top robotics conferences (ICRA, IROS) and journals.
