About
Jose Berengueres is a robotics and human-computer interaction researcher whose work spans mobile robotics, low-cost humanoid systems, and haptic design. His most recognized contribution is the development of a tetrahedral mobile robot featuring a spherical omnidirectional wheel, designed for search and rescue applications — a creative structural approach that earned 13 citations and demonstrated his early interest in robust, deployable robotic platforms. Berengueres has also been a consistent advocate for democratizing robotics through accessible technology: his 2018 papers exploring smartphone integration in home and humanoid robotics challenge the conventional separation between consumer electronics and robotic systems, arguing that the computational power already in people's pockets could bridge the gap toward mainstream robot adoption. More recently, his research has expanded into haptic experience design, reflecting a broader curiosity about how humans perceive and interact with machines across multiple sensory channels. Though his citation footprint remains modest, Berengueres occupies an interesting niche — combining pragmatic engineering with human-centered design thinking — making his work particularly relevant for students interested in affordable robotics solutions and next-generation human-machine interfaces.
