About
Emiliano Pérez is a leading figure in engineering education, whose work bridges the gap between theoretical control systems and practical, hands-on learning. His primary research focuses on the development of low-cost, accessible educational tools for automatic control and robotics. Pérez’s most significant contribution is the creation of a low-cost Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed for mobile robots, a groundbreaking approach that allows students to experience realistic, real-time system interactions without the expense and risk of full-scale physical equipment. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (29 citations), has been instrumental in transforming laboratory courses, making complex control concepts tangible and engaging. By replacing pure simulation with a hybrid of virtual and physical components, Pérez has directly enhanced student learning outcomes. His research, supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and the Junta de Extremadura, demonstrates a powerful commitment to democratizing access to advanced engineering tools, ensuring that impactful, practical education is not limited by budgetary constraints.
