I'm Software architect with automation background. I've worked on open sources software on embedded hardware, specially with openembedded that i really like. You can see my linkedin Public Profile at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/7/879/a33 . Join us in reprap group !

I'm interesting in RepRap project because :
- it's an open source project
- it can share a lot with robotic projects
- it can provide cheap and quality machines for autonomy projects as ecovillage ( see http://gen.ecovillage.org/ )
work on reprap
I focus on smart actuators and sensors architecture. I believe that a decentralized architecture is more efficient and cheap that the actual centralized one. IHMO , a good way to have such architecture is CANopen. I'll explain why soon. See http://www.can-cia.org/index.php?id=90 for more information.
At spare time, I'm working to make arduino working as a CANopen node.
