About

Carlos Carbonel is a researcher in service robotics, with a particular focus on human-robot interaction and autonomous systems. His most cited work, the 2013 paper "Project Donaxi@HOME Service Robot," introduces the functional architecture of the Donaxi prototype, a service robot developed at UPAEP. This paper presents novel results in face recognition, demonstrating how modular design can enhance a robot’s ability to perceive and interact with humans in domestic environments. Although his citation count is modest—with the Donaxi paper accruing just 2 citations—Carbonel’s contribution lies in the foundational integration of perception modules for real-world service tasks. His work underscores the challenges of building reliable, interactive robots for home assistance, bridging hardware and software design. For students and researchers exploring service robotics, Carbonel’s research offers a clear example of how functional architecture and face recognition can be combined to create more capable, human-friendly robots, highlighting the early-stage innovations that drive the field forward.
