About

Javier Coronel’s research focuses on distributed real-time control architectures for autonomous and bipedal robots, with a particular emphasis on communication protocols and embedded systems. His major contributions include the design and implementation of the SCoCAN (Shared Channel on CAN) protocol, a time-triggered communication system tailored for distributed control in mobile robots, enabling reliable real-time data exchange. He also played a key role in developing the control architectures for the YABIRO and YABIRO-II biped robots, which feature 14 and 27 degrees of freedom, respectively, allowing for sophisticated gait experimentation. His work on YABIRO-II, a 55 cm, 4 kg robot, advanced the field of small-scale bipedal locomotion by integrating a distributed embedded control system. Although his citation counts are modest (e.g., 8 citations for his most-cited papers), his contributions are notable for bridging communication protocol design and practical robot control, offering a foundation for real-time, scalable architectures in robotics. His research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in embedded systems, CAN-based communication, and autonomous robot control.
