About

J. Pedro Amaro is a researcher focused on the intersection of embedded systems, wireless communications, and wearable technology, with a particular emphasis on sensor fusion for health and sports monitoring. His work centers on the development and application of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based inertial sensors, which are critical for a wide range of commercial and scientific solutions, including navigation systems for unmanned vehicles and aeronautical/aerospace applications. Amaro’s major contributions include the design and validation of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) profiles for efficient data transfer from inertial measurement units (IMUs), such as the MPU9150, enabling low-power, real-time monitoring. His most cited paper, "A survey of sensor fusion algorithms for sport and health monitoring applications" (2016, 14 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of algorithms that integrate data from multiple sensors to enhance accuracy in dynamic environments. Additionally, his development of a test and verification tool for BLE-based inertial sensors (2016, 3 citations) demonstrates his commitment to practical, deployable solutions. Amaro’s work is foundational for advancing low-cost, energy-efficient wearable systems that bridge the gap between research and real-world health and athletic performance tracking.
