Raul (Elmer) Escandon is a junior senior 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 , Robotics, Human-Machine Interaction, and RoboticsHardware Design. 

In SpinOut UTEC, Raul has I've 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: <nowiki>http://luteach.com</nowiki>) and 50+ students from other universities. Raul Also, I have 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. So far, you have noticed I really believe in the power of awareness in freshmen students, they are the ones that needed it the most! Eventually, I've also designed and facilitated more than 5+ workshops in other universities, companies and Government organizations in Peru (Elmer) Escandon is a junior Electronics Engineering student at some examples are: Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohman, Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, Universidad Científica del Sur, Univerisdad Privada del Norte, companies like Nexa and Entel and organizations as Municipalidad Metropolitana de Ingenieria y Tecnologia - Lima and Municipalidad de Barranco). Currently, I am working on designing study material for courses in my major while finisihing my Thesis. Nonetheless, check out the current work of SpinOut UTEC and our UIF UTEC family, they are really making some progress in I&E on campus.  As an electronics engineering student, I've 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. He 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 actively enrolled currently working on providing semi-autonomous capabilities using computer vision algorithms. Since I wanted to explore other areas of expertise related to Electronics, I have worked as Research Assistant in his two passion activities during college: Innovation the Embedded Systems Laboratory as part of a heritage conservation project, evaluating if certain pieces are highly affected by climate conditions. On the other side, I've broadly researched the areas of Signals systems looking for new algorithms to detect arm movements using signals from our nerves, these projects have helped to detect fatigue conditions for rehabilitation procedures and Robotics.the implementation of more accurate prosthetic arms!

Also, at the Mechatronics Laboratory, he design three robotics workshops for K-12 students and Open Day activities. Also, I am currently working on wearable devices to help physical therapists to acquire more information about their patients progress during their activities.
