Ricardo
Sanz, Ph.D. is
Professor in systems engineering and automatic control and researcher in
the field of autonomous systems at the
Autonomous Systems Laboratory.
His main research interest is on architectures for intelligent control
systems, being involved in research lines on software technologies for
complex, distributed controllers, real-time artificial intelligence,
and cognitive systems and philosophical aspects of intelligent control
systems.
