2024

• Contact me at jose.araujo@ericsson.com if you're interested in applying for a master thesis project or internship in my team. My team's goal is to solve some of the most relevant challenges in future devices, particularly focusing on developing new perception methods for Robotic Systems and Mixed Reality devices.

• I am co-organizing a workshop on "Control with 6G" at the European Control Conference (ECC) in June 2024, with colleagues at Ericsson Research and ABB. Consider signing up for it when you register for ECC. Further information available here.

• I am part of the International Program Committee for the 16th APCA International Conference on Automatic Control and Soft Computing (CONTROLO) 2024 which will take place in Porto, Portugal in July 2024. Link here.

• We have been granted an Industrial Postdoc grant by SSF on "Hierarchical Communication-Aware Motion Planning", to be conducted by Christos Mavridis, in collaboration with Karl H. Johansson (KTH), Fernando S. Barbosa (Ericsson Research) and Sara Sandberg (Ericsson Research).

2023

• We have been granted an Industrial PhD grant by WASP on "CVC-SLAM: Cooperative Video Coding for Localization & Mapping in 5G-enabled mobile devices", to be conducted by Jose Miguel Pedro, which I will co-supervise with P. Jensfelt (KTH), André Mateus (Ericsson Research) and Christopher Hollmann (Ericsson Research).

2022

• We have been granted an Industrial PhD grant by WASP on "Heterogeneous localization and mapping for collaborative 5G-enabled mobile devices", to be conducted by Paula Carbo Cubero, which I will co-supervise with P. Jensfelt (KTH), André Mateus (Ericsson Research) and Alberto Jaenal (Ericsson Research).

2021

• We have been granted an Industrial PhD grant by WASP on "Perception-based control of collaborative mobile robots", to be conductedby Adam Miksits, which I will co-supervise with Karl H. Johansson (KTH) and Fernando S. Barbosa (Ericsson Research).

2019

• A research proposal on "DepDrone: Rigorously Investigating Drone Dependability" with Prof. Luca Mottola (RISE, P. Milano) has been accepted by VINNOVA - Pioneering ideas - Sustainable industry.

• My team has demonstrated at Mobile World Congress 2019 how mixed reality, haptics and spatial audio can be combined to enable immersive communication between two persons when 5G is available. Users could remotely interact with each other in real-time and see, feel and hear virtual objects as if they were real. BBC Click covered our demo and a video is available here.

• I am part of the Technical Program Committee for the 2nd IEEE Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking (CPN 2020) which will take place in Las Vegas, USA in January 2020.

• I have been part of the Technical Program Committee for the 2nd Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things (CPS-IoTBench 2019) which took place in Montreal, Canada in April 2019.

2018

• Together with several of my colleagues at Ericsson Research, we have written a blog post on the "The emergence of the Internet of Skills". The blog post attempts to summarize some of the latest technological developments which will enable the Internet of Skills, including some of the work we do at Ericsson Research towards this goal.

• I have been part of the Technical Program Committee for the 1st IEEE Workshop on Cyber-Physical Networking (CPN'19) which took place in Las Vegas, USA.

• I have been part of the Technical Program Committee for the 1st Workshop on Benchmarking Cyber-Physical Networks and Systems which took place in Porto, Portugal.

2017

• I was part of the team which demonstrated Ericsson's vision of the Internet of Skills enabled by 5G at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona. The demonstration focused on enabling a doctor to perform remote medical examinations by operating a robotic arm via a haptic glove. The demonstration was developed in a partnership with King's College London (UK), RoomOne labs (UK), Neurodigital (Spain) and British Telecom (UK).

  The demonstration is covered in more detail in this blog post and CNET published a story about it here. More information of the demo is provided in this video.

2016

• I was part of the team which developed and demonstrated the remote control of quadrotors with haptic feedback at the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona. We operated quadrotors in Barcelona via a 5G simulated environment, but we also flew them in Stockholm from Barcelona, 2200 Km away!

  This demo showcases a use case for Ericsson's 5G, Cloud and IoT technologies and was presented at the MWC's Customer Keynote by Ericsson's former CEO Hans Vestberg. The keynote is available here (minute 16). BBC's Click covered our demo (minute 14) and CNET published a story about it here. More information of the demo is provided in this video.

2015

• My colleagues at Ericsson Research have demonstrated a remote control operation of an excavator using a 4G network at the Mobile World Congress 2015. Check out some media coverage of the event, plus a video of the demo development

• In February I joined Ericsson Research as an Experienced Researcher in Device Technologies

• I defended my PhD thesis on Design, Implementation and Validation of Resource-Aware and Resilient Wireless Networked Control Systems with Jan Lunze (RU Bochum, Germany) as the opponent and Luis Almeida (FEUP, Portugal), Anton Cervin (LTU, Sweden), and James Gross (KTH, Sweden) as the evaluation committee
