About
Cosmin Delea is a researcher specializing in autonomous maritime systems, communication infrastructures, and cloud-based robotics architectures. His work sits at the intersection of unmanned vehicle technology and service-oriented computing, with a particular focus on Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and their practical deployment in port and waterborne environments. Delea's most significant contributions center on the RoboVaaS (Robotic Vessel as-a-Service) project, which has garnered 18 citations for its pioneering system architecture combining underwater acoustic modems, long-range wireless communication, and cloud computing to enable scalable autonomous maritime services. His earlier foundational work from 2020 explored small-scale demonstration testbeds for port robotics and cloud-integrated control systems, establishing the groundwork for multi-agent unmanned vehicle deployments. A recurring theme throughout his research is the challenge of operating unmanned vehicles safely beyond visual line-of-sight, addressed through web-oriented, human-in-the-loop architectures. His 2024 work on LiDAR-based obstacle detection further extends USV capabilities toward safer autonomous navigation. With a growing body of work accumulating approximately 30 total citations, Delea represents an emerging voice in the maritime robotics field, offering students and researchers valuable insights into the practical infrastructure challenges of deploying autonomous systems at sea.
