About

Gloria Bueno is a leading researcher in embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT), with a particular focus on secure, low-power, and flexible architectures for real-world deployments. Her major contributions center on enabling efficient, scalable IoT ecosystems, most notably through her work on the "Eyes of Things" (EoT) platform, which has garnered 22 citations. This project pioneered a versatile computer vision platform designed for standalone use or integration into wearables, robotics, and home products, addressing the critical need for rugged, low-cost, and connected embedded systems. Bueno also developed "Pulga," a tiny open-source MQTT broker (16 citations) that provides a flexible and secure solution for IoT deployments, emphasizing lightweight communication protocols. Her work bridges the gap between classic embedded system constraints—such as low power consumption and fast response—and modern connectivity demands. By advancing open-source tools and modular hardware designs, Bueno has significantly impacted the practical implementation of IoT and computer vision technologies, making her a key figure in the evolution of smart, connected devices.
