Juan Antonio Corrales Ramón is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) under the prestigious Beatriz Galindo Program, affiliated with the CiTIUS laboratory. Previously, he served as an Associate Professor at Sigma Clermont Engineering School (France) from 2014 to 2020, where he taught courses in automatic control, robotics, and programming while conducting research at the Institut Pascal laboratory. He holds a Doctorate in Automatic Control and Robotics from the University of Alicante (2011), following a Master’s in Computer Engineering (2005). His research focuses on human-robot interaction , robotic manipulation , and soft robotics , with applications in industrial automation, healthcare, and agriculture. He has led or contributed to multiple international projects, including H2020-funded initiatives like Bots2Rec, SoftManBot, and ACROBA. His work emphasizes tactile sensing, deformation control, and collaborative robotics systems. Key contributions include: Development of low-cost tactile sensors for soft robotics ( Sensors , 2022) Adaptive control frameworks for deformable objects ( Frontiers in Robotics and AI , 2022) Robotic grippers with reconfigurable fingers ( IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters , 2021) He has received the Beatriz Galindo Postdoctoral Fellowship (2021–present) and has authored over 30 peer-reviewed articles. His research bridges theory and practice, addressing challenges in dexterous manipulation and human-robot collaboration.
