Dr. Andrés S. Vázquez is a Computer Engineer and PhD in Mechatronics from the University of Castilla La Mancha (UCLM). He is currently an Associate Professor at The Higher School of Industrial Engineers at Ciudad Real. He is director of the Soft Robotics Group of the UCLM (http:// www.automaticayrobotica.es/). His two main research interests are: the development of flexible and soft technologies applied to robotic manipulation and the development of robotic and intelligent artificial technologies applied to the education of robotics. He is convinced that both lines have the same goal: to facilitate the integration of robots into human environments. The first one addresses this problem from the robots point of view: how to make sustainable soft robots that can work and collaborate safely with humans. The second one addresses this problem from the human perspective: how to make robotics more accessible in terms of understanding and learning.
