ROBERTO IGLESIAS RODRIGUEZ

Roberto Iglesias Rodríguez is a Professor at the Department of Electronics and Computing, Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. He holds a PhD from the same institution (2003) with a thesis on vector quantification models. His research focuses on artificial intelligence, mobile robotics, reinforcement learning, and fuzzy logic control. He leads the GSI Group (Intelligent Systems Group) within the Center for Research in Intelligent Technologies (CITIUS).

Key research areas include:

• Robot navigation and path planning
• Reinforcement learning and hybrid learning systems
• Fuzzy control systems in dynamic environments
• Computer vision for robotics
• Federated learning and distributed robotics

Recent work emphasizes federated learning applications in robotics, non-IID data handling, and adaptive systems. Notable contributions include a self-organized multi-camera network for robot deployment (2013) and combining reinforcement learning with genetic algorithms (2006). His research bridges theoretical advances with practical implementations in autonomous systems.

Publications span over 30 years, with impactful work in journals like Robotics and Autonomous Systems, IEEE Transactions, and Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Active collaborations include institutions like The University of Texas at Austin and Maastricht University.
