Interviews

My name is Eduardo Narváez Fuertes. I am from the Republic of Colombia in South America. I love coffee, traveling and winter sports.
While studying Electronic Engineering in Colombia, I have always been interested in Robotics and Automatic Machines. After finishing my Bachelor’s Degree, I decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Robotics and Automation at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain.
Later, at the Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, I conducted research on Cooperative Robots, AI-based autonomous mobile robots and drones, and completed my Doctoral Degree.

Q1 /
Why I joined AWL?

Seeing the company’s future potential through the challenges to achieve the goals

After a year and a half of long-term internship at the R&D base of AWL, located in an incubation facility adjacent to Hokkaido University called “Hokudai Business Spring”, I joined the company as a full-time employee from April, 2020. I am currently involved in the development of the next generation of AWL Lite applications.
I decided to work at AWL because I found the members to be fantastic. When I first joined AWL, it was a small company with great goals and enormous challenges. It was easy to realize that it has a solid leading foundation and great potential to become a significant company for society.
The company’s founders have created a fascinating culture where you can feel part of a family and grow professionally.

Q2 /
What’s the best thing about AWL?

Constant pursuit of progress is inspiring!
And company culture of Openness and Trust where people feel at ease.

In fact, I have been amazed at the remarkable growth of AWL even after joining.
The goals have been achieved and greatly surpassed. After a significant milestone is reached, the company adapts quickly and goes for a new challenge without hesitation and excellent planning…Company’s vision has been a constant source of inspiration to me.
AWL has a lot of talented and interesting people, and I like the highly refreshing and innovative work environment.

Q3 /
Future challenges

Toward the creation of AI systems for a more comfortable and vibrant life.

I would like to continue working on AI systems, creating complex applications from scratch. Currently, I am creating an efficient system to be installed on embedded systems for Linux and Android devices. I think the smaller and efficient AI devices are, the more accessible they are for customers. They are capable of bringing a lot of helpful information to improve transactions in the Retail industry. In the end, this can be good for the comfort of the people.
I would like to see with my own eyes how AWL implements all the AI Systems that are “now” under development. I would like to contribute to the “enrichment of people’s lives” by combining the fields of AI and Robotics that I have been studying. I will continue my efforts with this in mind.
Personally, I want also to improve my Japanese skills to talk smoothly with my colleagues and friends.
