Esther Borao Moros is a Spanish industrial engineer specialized in automatic and robotics.

She was graduated at the University of Zaragoza in 2011. The same year, she obtained an Erasmus scholarship for which she studied at the Warsaw University of Technology (Poland).

In 2012, she continued her studies at the University of Seville, where was part of the team of researchers of the ARCAS Project (Aerial Robotics Cooperative Assembly System) of the University of Seville, which proposed to develop the first free flight robot cooperative system that could build and assemble structures, to facilitate the construction of platforms for the landing of aircraft in space, among other objectives.

In 2015, she participated in the development of "HAIZE, the magic compass" with Luis Antonio Martín Nuez and Javier Soto, a bluetooth device that, connected to the mobile, works through the voice and is especially designed to guide cyclists. This project was a finalist of the Adecco award for the brightest idea at the VI Congress of Brilliant Minds in 2015, and also won the European Youth Award for young entrepreneurs in 2016, at the Go Green category. This award is granted by the International Center for New Media (ICNM) with the support of the Council of Europe to digitally based projects that provide social value.

Between 2015 and 2016, Borao was part of the science department of  'The Man in Black', from El Hormiguero (Antena3 TV channel). During that stage, she created a robot that was baptized as 'Moncho' and that had several appearances in the program.

Moreover, as a member of the Makeroni Labs Zaragoza technological association, she was part of the development of "The Eye of Horus", a device that allows interaction with elements of the environment using only the human gaze.
