Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo De Azambuja is a Sr. Robotics and Autonomous Drone Systems Designer with a PhD in Robotics & AI and over 11 years building multidisciplinary robotic products that combine mechanics, sensors, electronics, computer vision and on-board neural networks. He has led research and production efforts from bio-inspired sub-250g drone swarms and edge AI cameras to full-stack robotics automation for high-precision medical sensor manufacturing, contributing ROS2 packages, publications and open-source releases along the way. A recipient of competitive fellowships and grants (Marie Skłodowska-Curie, IVADO), he bridges academic rigor with commercial impact, having influenced multi-million-dollar projects and mentored early-career researchers. Equally comfortable hacking commercial drones for automatic landing or architecting edge neural solutions, he blends hands-on prototyping with strategic leadership to turn bold robotics ideas into deployable systems. Based in Ottawa, he’s driven by making the world better through electronics, robotics and machine learning while staying pragmatic about manufacturability and real-world constraints.
