Oscar Martinez, No. 1 in Information Technology with 100 points out of 100 in the last call of the state's promotion of talent choose to Cartagena Polytechnic to develop projects of robotics and bioengineering
Robotics Dr. Oscar Martinez Mozos has chosen Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) to develop the research in artificial intelligence and bioengineering to improve the quality of life of people who have earned him the highest score curriculum ( 100 out of 100) in the competition this year, in the field of Information Technologies, the Ramon y Cajal program that the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness promotes research talent.
Spain and repatriated to a 'brain' that had three years teaching at the University of Lincoln in the UK, after investigating for two years in the Japanese Kyushu University and completed postgraduate and doctoral studies at the German University of Freiburg.

"I always had the idea of ​​coming to UPCT, a dynamic young university with a mentality next to mine," says Oscar Martinez.
"Especially interested me a call at a specialized engineering to develop technology university," says the researcher, who considers "very interesting the union of the four polytechnics in UP4".
The first goal of the new research UPCT is to launch, in collaboration with the (Intelligents Robotics and Vision System) SVRI group Kyushu University, a European-Japanese research project to develop a robot and an intelligent environment monitoring for assistance to the elderly, so they can extend the time in which they can live in their own homes.
The project includes social robotics technologies and emotional computing, to know the mood and health of dependent, where the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and works.
Collaboration with Japan could also extend through training programs and doctoral graduate, since the Japanese authorities "are promoting the implementation of international masters students to go abroad," said Oscar Martinez.
