Juan Camilo Gamboa Higuera

You have somehow arrived to my website. Perhaps you were looking for someone with a similar name to mine. But there is a chance that you were looking for this particular Juan Camilo Gamboa. To make sure that you are at the correct place, I'll provide you some information about your current location on the Internet. I promise you that you are not in that corner of the Internet.

• My name is Juan Camilo Gamboa Higuera (Just making sure you were paying attention)
• I am a Ph. D. student at the Mobile Robotics Laboratory in the School of Scomputer Science at McGill University
• I was born in Bucaramanga, Colombia
• I have recently mastered science at McGill University, under the guidance of Prof. Gregory Dudek
• Eons ago, I would hang out at the IMAGINE lab at Los Andes University in Bogotá, Colombia
• I do not play tennis at all
• I may look like this:

A little bit about my research: I am interested in using multiple robots, with (possibly) task input from multiple humans, to perform (possibly) complex tasks in (possibly) unknown environments under (possibly) communication constraints(, possibly). I want robots to model their own abilities, make inference on the abilities of other robots, agree on roles, workload balancing, and spatial distribution, and use information from task execution to improve their models over time. The first baby steps we've taken in that direction are i) using voting mechanisms to combine input from multiple human operators ii) representing single global tasks (coverage, search, exploration) as divisible goods to be distributed fairly among a robot team. If you are convinced that I was the person you were looking for, you should definitley take a look at my publications and software.
