Jonay Tomás Toledo Carrillo

Jonay Tomás Toledo Carrillo is a Full Professor at the University of La Laguna, affiliated with the Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering within the School of Computer Science and Systems Engineering. He leads the GRULL (Robotics Group of the University of La Laguna), focusing on robotics, control systems, and autonomous systems. He earned his PhD in 2008 with a thesis on nonlinear control strategies for quadrotor helicopters, advised by Dr. Leopoldo Acosta Sánchez.

His research interests span robotics, autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, and assistive technologies. Key projects include developing mobility aids for visually impaired individuals and enhancing localization systems through adaptive algorithms. Recent work emphasizes real-time sensor processing (e.g., LSTM networks for odometry), magnetic field control for accessibility, and Kalman filter variants for multi-sensor integration.

Publications highlight contributions to robotics applications, including autonomous vehicles, wheelchair navigation, and BCI systems. His work bridges theoretical control methods with practical implementations in unstructured environments. Collaborations include interdisciplinary efforts in computer vision, ontology-based navigation, and educational simulators like MNEME for memory hierarchy teaching.

Dr. Toledo Carrillo’s research aligns with the university’s engineering and automation priorities, with a focus on real-world impact through low-cost, high-precision solutions. His team’s innovations address challenges in both robotics engineering and accessibility technologies.
