Sergio Sedas Gersey is dedicated to the research, development and application of technology to improve efficiency, productivity and quality of life. For more than 20 years, he has worked with industry and academia laying the groundwork for international academic and industrial collaboration. He incorporated five international companies in Mexico, authored and developed over 30 industrial automation systems using vision, robots and other high end technologies, established the first of its kind systems and programs in Mexico, incubated two startup operations and launched the first robotic integrated manufacturing laboratory in Mexico and Latin America. He provided novel solutions for Formex/MAGNA • NEMAK • Chrysler Carplastic • Lamosa • Lear Seating • General Motors • CMI • DEWALT • Johnson Controls Ford New Holland • NUGAR • DBG and others. A highly articulate speaker he has made close to one hundred presentations at professional, academic and cultural events organized by the US Chamber of Commerce, Vitro, Chrysler, Spicer, ASME, AAI, Tecnológico de Monterrey, CINVESTAV, UDLA, Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía, Planetario Alfa, Museo Marco, and others. For his work and contribution he has appeared in Fortune Magazine, Automotive Manufacturing and Production, Production Magazine, Alianza Automotriz, Interface and El Norte and is cited in the "who´s who" book of scientists and technologists of the state of Nuevo León. His research findings have been published in IEEE, IFAC, ASME, AAI. Dr Sedas worked as a research assistant at Carnegie Mellon University´s prestigious Engineering Design Research Center and Robotics Institute/Field Robotics Center where he performed multidisciplinary research in perception, geometric reasoning, articulate and mobile robotics, artificial intelligence and computer aided simultaneous engineering. He participated in the development of DANTE – the robot that entered a live volcano in Antarctica en 1992 and ASE – Automated Simultaneous Engineering – developed for General Motors Inland Fisher Guide and developed geometric reasoning algorithms for autonomous disassembly planning and "intelligent sensor placement". His studies were funded in part by NASA, USAirforce, General Motors, National Science Foundation and Conacyt. During the last thirteen years he has been working on improving the effectiveness of Mexican manufacturing operations through awareness, development and application of robot and vision automation technology. Some of the highlights include:
His commitment to volunteerism and creating opportunities
involving access to education and technology in Mexico have won him recognition by the
Pittsburgh AIDE Alliance for Innovative Development and Education and the State
of Nuevo Leon Technology Council.
He He is currently working on developing new technologies that will improve health and medical intervention and to build an improved research infrastructure and effective technology transfer via collaboration with worldwide academic and industry partners. As a liaison for Carnegie Mellon’s Master of Science in Information Technology/Robotics Technology (MSIT/RT), Sergio will blend technology and entrepreneurship to enrich Mexican economic development. His current interests lie in research and the immediate application of technology in areas that will significantly improve quality of life. More Information ...
