JAVIER DÍEZ GONZÁLEZ

JAVIER DÍEZ GONZÁLEZ is a Professor at the Universidad de León, affiliated with the College of Industrial, Information and Aerospace Engineering and the Department of Mechanical, Computer and Aerospace Engineering. He leads research in intelligent systems for manufacturing (SINFAB research group), focusing on cutting-edge applications of localization technologies, robotics, and optimization algorithms.

Research Interests:

• Advanced localization systems for autonomous vehicles and robots
• Smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0/5.0 integration
• Optimization techniques for wireless sensor networks
• Metaverse applications in industrial and educational contexts
• Hybrid AI and fuzzy logic for aerospace engineering problems

Scientific Contributions: His recent work (2025-2024) explores asynchronous localization architectures, collaborative robotics, mixed reality training, and metaverse-human interaction. He has pioneered UWB-based positioning solutions for UAVs and AMRs, with a strong focus on error characterization, sensor deployment, and robustness under failure conditions.

Academic Background: Earned a PhD (2020) from Universidad de León with a thesis on time-based local positioning systems, supervised by Dr. Hilde Pérez García.
