Ongoing Collaborations
XQuad - Autonomous Drone Racing Competition
I participated in the XQuad team, on the autonomous drone racing competition Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing, organized by Lockheed Martin and NVIDIA. Our team was one of the 9 finalist teams from around 400 competing teams around the world (being the only Latin American finalist).
