Raul (Elmer) Escandon is a junior Electronics Engineering student at Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia - UTEC in Lima, Peru. He is actively enrolled in his two passion activities during college: Innovation and Robotics.
As a University Innovation Fellow, Raul design I&E activities for the SpinOut I&E community. This community aims to develop creative confidence for UTEC students. From 2016, SpinOut UTEC has raised the I&E career of 80 students, and its members have developed 13 initiatives.
In SpinOut UTEC, Raul has participated in creating a pre-incubation program called "How might we start a startup?" with our university accelerator UTEC Ventures. The HMW program teaches students to understand their users, identify problems, and develop the mindsets to begin the entrepreneurial journey. After two years, the program impacted 70+ UTEC students (included the first UTEC startup made only by students: http://luteach.com) and 50+ students from other universities. Raul (Elmer) Escandon is a junior Electronics Engineering student at Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia - UTEC in Lima, Peru. He is actively enrolled in his two passion activities during college: Innovation and Robotics.
Furthermore, Raul co-designed three awareness workshops: Moonshot Thinking, Virtual Design Thinking, and Aprendiendo con SpinOut. These workshops focused on promoting the importance of innovation in students' life and career.
As an electronics engineering student, Raul participated in robotics projects since his first year. First, he wrote an academic paper about an educational approach for teaching freshmen students to develop artificial intelligence games for a Delta Robot, this paper was presented on IEEE INTERCON 2018 in Lima. Then, he participated in the creation of two low-cost animal-inspired robots which unfortunately did not succeed due to the lack of resources and team capabilities. However, since failure is part of the process and success the consequences of learning, he participated as an embedded programer and leader in the Capstone project between Purdue University and UTEC, this project aims to create collaborative wheeled robots for beach cleaning in Peru. The team accomplished to build a plastic bottle collector robot from scratch in four months, this robot has full closed-loop control and sensor fusion for localization, moreover the teams is currently working on providing semi-autonomous capabilities using computer vision algorithms. Also, at the Mechatronics Laboratory, he design three robotics workshops for K-12 students and Open Day activities.
