International Experience: Ferran Roure

desembre 23, 2015

These last three month were different. The past 23th of September I took the plane to London to spend the last part of the year working at UCL (University College of London). Located at the center of London, UCL is one of the main European universities (with more than 30000 students and up to 6000 researchers). With professor Niloy Mitra I began an interesting project about applying 3D registration methods for environment reconstruction. The main idea is apply these methods to rescue robots in order to achieve good 3D reconstructions without any sensor or extra information.

My London experience was very special. This city is very huge and there are a lot of people. As a center of European capitalism London is the main destination of many people coming from around the world looking for an opportunity. The results are impossible rents, very expensive public transport, many companies, rich people and also people without resources. The upside is that universities have more money (and free coffee!!!) and this fact influences the research quality.
It was a very great experience and I learnt a lot!. The only thing that I will not miss is the weather!

 

 

Aquests tres Ćŗltims mesos han sigut diferents. El passat 23 de setembre vaig agafar l’avió cap a Londres per passar l’Ćŗltim trimestre de l’any treballant a la UCL (University College of London). Situada al mig de la capital anglesa, la UCL Ć©s una de les principals universitats europees (compta amb mĆ©s de 30000 estudiants i prop de 6000 investigadors). Sota la supervisió del professor Niloy Mitra vaig comenƧar un projecte molt interessant que consistia a aplicar mĆØtodes de registre 3D per tal de fer reconstrucció de l’entorn. Aquest projecte estĆ  pensat per ser aplicat en robots de rescat terrestres amb la idea d’aconseguir una reconstrucció 3D de l’entorn del robot sense ajuda de cap sensor ni de cap informació extra.


L’experiĆØncia de viure a Londres Ć©s especial. La ciutat Ć©s molt gran i hi ha molta (molta) gent. S’hi mouen molts diners i això fa que tothom hi vingui a buscar la seva oportunitat. El resultat són lloguers impossibles, transport carĆ­ssim, moltes empreses, gent molt rica i gent amb molt pocs recursos. Londres Ć©s bĆ sicament la central del capitalisme europeu. La part bona d’això Ć©s que les universitats tenen bastants mĆ©s recursos (tenen cafĆØ gratis!!!) i això influeix en la qualitat de la recerca.


Ha sigut una experiĆØncia molt bona i he aprĆØs molt. L’Ćŗnic que no trobarĆ© a faltar serĆ  el temps!
