Summary
Ricardo Sanz is a tenured professor of Systems Engineering and Automation at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and coordinator of the Autonomous Systems Laboratory, combining academic leadership with hands-on research in control, real-time systems, and AI-driven robotics. With three decades at UPM and nine years counted as active experience in recent profiles, he focuses on the long-term engineering objective of creating more intelligent, self-aware machines through model-based engineering and universal mind theory. He contributes to European AI policy as a member of the Council of Europe's CAHAI, linking technical research to governance and ethics. Ricardo’s work spans from foundational control theory to applied autonomous systems, emphasizing practical systems that integrate learning, perception, and real-time constraints. Based in Madrid, he balances rigorous research with public engagement, and his personal site and ASLab channel further reveal an interdisciplinary curiosity that bridges natural and artificial intelligence.
