Profile bio
About Joan Solà
Research professional with experience in several disciplines, like deepwater manned submarines, computer vision, wheeled and legged robotics, control systems, analog and power electronics and renewable energies. With a good engineering and mathematics formation, I am also very intuitive and especially like the difficult problems. Looking back, I see that I like to change the major axes of my research activity every X years, with 3 < X < 8. This keeps me motivated while it allows me to broaden my fields of knowledge and expertise. Although I need to get enough for a living, my primary goals are always related to knowledge and to participate in challenging civil projects. In this direction, I would like to get involved in planetary exploration, on one side, and humanoid robotics on the other side. Time will tell if I can manage doing both of them. In 2007 I joined a small team at Ictineu Submarins with the aim of building a civil submersible for 3 people and 1200m depth, Ictineu3. Indeed, a submarine is the closest thing to a spacecraft one can imagine on Earth. And I have recently (2013) started a small collaboration with isardSAT, in the field of planetary observation from satellite-based radar altimeters. In 2013 I obtained a Ramon y Cajal research grant which will allow me to pursue research in the directions of my dreams.Specialties: Computer vision; Simultaneous Localization and Mapping; Estimation and sensor fusion; Control systems; robotic systems; Renewable energies, energy in general; electricity and electronics, especially analog and power electronics; Deep-water (over 1000m) submarine technology. Special batteries for electric vehicles. Lithium batteries for deep-water submarines.
Listed skills include Robotics, Computer Vision, Algorithms, Signal Processing, and 30 others.

Joan Solà work experience
A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Ramon Y Cajal Researcher
I started my new position here as a researcher in robotics and computer vision. The Ramon y Cajal contract is a very competitive 5-year contract which gives me ample freedom to direct my own research track. I will also collaborate with several ongoing projects at IRI.
Lecturer
Edsys - École Doctorale Systèmes
I am giving PhD-level courses on graph-SLAM in the doctoral school EDSYS in Toulouse. SLAM is a crucial technique in robotics to simultaneously map the robot's surroundings and localize the robot in this map. The course focuses on the graphical representation of the problem, which uses state-of-the-art iterative and incremental non-linear optimization techniques for its solution.
Lecturer
I am giving specialized courses on visual and inertial SLAM in this prestigious school of aeronautics and space studies.
Founder And Technology Consultant
Bot
I am part of the founding team of a new startup on underwater localization and mapping. I bring my experience on batteries, power electronics, signal processing, visual mapping, underwater technology, and overall system conception.
Researcher
Isardsat
I joined isardSAT to perform a prospective research about the possibilities of using state-of-the-art altimeter solutions using SAR and other radar altimetry for new missions. This is an exciting position that allows me, finally!, to get involved in space activities. Thank you isardSAT!
