Eduardo da Silva Alves

I am a Control & Automation Engineer graduated at University of Brasilia (UnB) in December 2007. Since July 2008, I am pursuing my M.S at the Electrical Engineering Departament of the University of Brasilia - UnB, Brasilia, Brazil. My research at the Automation and Robotics Laboratory (LARA) is under the orientation of Prof. Geovany Araújo Borges.

I focus my studies in vision-based estimation of dynamic systems with applications to autonomous robot navigation. Currently, I am working with a Pioneer P3-DX mobile robot and I am concerned about Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (Visual SLAM). I guide my studies towards stochastic filtering, especially in hybrid estimation for systems with multiple models. Also I am interested in software development for embedded systems and networked control systems.

During my undergraduate studies I took part in many different projects, both research and regular work projects. I was co-participant in the project DROID (mobile robotics), supported by MECAJUN, the junior company in control and automation engineering of University of Brasilia - Brazil and I was intern in the MAISTECH, company of custom automation's projects - Brasilia/Brazil.
