Hanson Robotics’ Spotlight Series: Meet Gerardo Morales, Robotics Engineer

Meet Gerardo Morales, Robots Engineer, Hong Kong

Who’re you and what is your background?

I am Gerardo Morales.  I graduated with a stage in mechatronics engineering in Guadalajara, Mexico. After I became as soon as younger, I became as soon as at all times enthusiastic in how things work, particularly dwelling appliances, and I became as soon as impressed when I understood how the kind designer came up with the solution for the sphere to rep that instrument. Those experiences guided me to toddle wanting Mechatronics Engineering, and I needed to work namely in robotics self-discipline. After working 7 years in manufacturing corporations, I had the chance to toddle wanting and accomplish my master’s stage in Mechanical Engineering in Hong Kong.  For the length of that time I met Hanson Robotics by a official friend who became as soon as working at Hanson on the time. So I made up our minds to put together for my internship as my first possibility. Now I had been working there for 3 years and It is fabulous!

What is your feature at Hanson Robotics? What excites you about your work here?

I am a Robotics Engineer at Hanson Robotics and am to blame of designing mechanical improvements on the heads, torsos and palms.

What excites me most is the sphere of discovering suggestions about methods on how to manufacture subtle mechanical actions for Sophia, enthusiastic in the reduction of meeting time and the expand of the lifespan.

What became as soon as the moment you knew you’d made the actual style decision to work here?

Intellectual what Hanson Robotics has already done in the robotics self-discipline and the chance of being piece of the construction of Sophia as a CAD sort designer became as soon as the moment I realized it became as soon as the actual style job.

What are you working on now?

Now I am working to get extra effective ways to govern Sophia’s facial expressions to boot to physique actions to strengthen meeting and quality, so she will be able to manufacture greater spherical the area.

What became as soon as your most interesting day at work?

My most interesting day at work became as soon as when I found a technique so that you just might add an additional stage of freedom in the wrist, (pitch and roll) for the length of the home limits because for a actually very lengthy time we simplest bear one DoF, and it worked as we anticipated.

What’s something that came about that will per chance per chance simplest happen here?

That we are entirely free to present tips to get suggestions so as that Sophia can strengthen in each and every presentation, and likewise hear to Sophia when she talks in the distance of business particularly her jokes!

What are you most delighted with?

Whenever when Sophia has appropriate style stage performance and folk are entirely impressed–that makes me proud.

What is your dream for Sophia?

My dream for Sophia is that all her actions such as palms, fingers and facial expressions might well also be an increasing number of realistic and imperceptible to human stare to boot to having sturdy machine that will manufacture it seem extra human when she talks with folk.
