About

Victor P. Torres is a researcher dedicated to making robotics education accessible and affordable through innovative cloud and web-based technologies. His work centers on developing low-cost, scalable platforms that lower the barriers to entry for students and educators in the field of educational robotics. Torres’s major contributions include the creation of a web-based, configurable, and multiplatform development environment that allows users to program diverse robotic platforms using either custom languages like R-Educ or registered existing ones. He also pioneered a cloud-based system that leverages standard mobile phones and internet telephony to control low-cost robots, effectively turning any connected device into a powerful learning tool. While his most-cited works—including “Web-based configurable and multiplatform development environment for educational robotics” (3 citations) and “Cloud based low cost educational robot” (2 citations)—reflect a focused and emerging impact, their conceptual foundation is significant for democratizing STEM education. Torres’s vision of integrating cloud computing with affordable hardware represents a practical step toward widespread, hands-on robotics learning in classrooms worldwide.
