Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlejandro Astudillo is a robotics and automation leader with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from KU Leuven and over a decade of hands-on experience building real-time motion planning and fast model predictive control for manipulators, drones, mobile robots and satellites. As VP R&D and Product Research Fellow and a founding leader at Trener Robotics, he translates cutting-edge visual-language-haptics models into plug-and-play software that makes any robot more intelligent and easier to integrate in industry. His background blends academic rigor—postdoctoral research on fast MPC—with practical electronics and UAV engineering from early roles in Colombia, giving him uncommon breadth from low-level hardware to high-level AI. He focuses on boosting efficiency, sustainability and task autonomy across sectors and is known for simplifying complex control strategies into deployable products. Based in Leuven but operating with a global perspective, he actively seeks collaborations that push robotics from research prototypes to real-world impact.
