Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPablo Blasco is a roboticist and software architect with 14+ years building real-time, AI-enabled autonomy for mobile and manipulator robots, combining deep academic research with hands-on industry delivery. He founded IBRobotics to consult on navigation, perception, embedded controllers and ROS/ROS2-based architectures, and is the principal developer behind the SMACC framework used to compose complex robot behaviors. His background spans aerospace robotics (Gecko for Airbus), quadruped platforms like Spot and Unitree, and integrations with sensors from ZED to FLIR and Hololens, often in simulated environments such as Gazebo and IsaacSim. Pablo couples low-level real-time design (PREEMPT_RT, zero-copy comms) with modern AI—DNNs, reinforcement learning and LLMs—to bridge perception, planning and human-robot interaction. Fluent in C++, ROS/ROS2 and systems engineering, he also brings an academic edge from his doctoral program work and multiple robotics publications.
