From robots

I’m Luis Miguel uevedo, . I spent years integrating robots, control panels and plants in industry. Now I design digital circuits all the way to GDS and build the products that use them.

doesn’t stop at silicon. An idea enters one end of the cycle and comes out the other as a product ready to be made at scale.

  1. 01

    Idea

    You describe the need in your own words.

  2. 02

    Model

    The framework understands it and turns it into requirements and architecture, with MBSE and AI.

  3. 03

    Design

    Firmware and hardware are designed together, traced to every requirement.

  4. 04

    Simulation

    Everything is tested in simulation before touching copper.

  5. 05

    Devkit

    The prototype runs on FPGA and development boards.

  6. 06

    Fabrication

    Two fronts at once: the custom and the PCB with its components.

  7. 07

    Integration

    The comes back, goes onto the PCB and everything is tested again.

  8. 08

    Production

    Once it meets the need, mass production starts.

I am

earning started in mechatronics: I’m an engineer from Universidad de San Buenaventura, with a certificate in telecommunications. I’m currently pursuing an MS in electrical engineering at the University of South Florida, focused on methodologies such as MBSE (model-based systems engineering) and SysML v2 applied to semiconductor design.

y first venture, over 7 years, let me deliver more than 30 projects with industry, for companies such as PepsiCo and General Motors: robotic welding cells, PLC control panels and plants. That experience taught me industrial applications from the big picture down to the essentials, and sparked my interest in custom circuit design, all the way to specialized and semiconductor design.

uite simply, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge. I’ve been an IEEE member for more than 15 years, a Senior Member and a member of the Electron Devices Society. As a volunteer I chaired the EDS chapter at the University of South Florida and led EDS-ETC for more than 5 years, a STEM initiative that brings engineering to schools and teachers. Today I do it through EDIDT, my venture, where we identify young people’s learning needs and show them the way to improve their performance in a fun and efficient way.
