About
Henrique Duarte is a leading researcher in marine robotics, with a primary focus on the development of cooperative autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems for geophysical and geotechnical surveying. His most significant contributions center on the Widely scalable Mobile Underwater Sonar Technology (WiMUST) project, a major H2020 European Commission initiative. Duarte’s work has been instrumental in advancing distributed acoustic array technologies, enabling teams of AUVs to operate in a coordinated manner for high-resolution seafloor mapping and exploration. His key papers, such as the project overview (30 citations) and the detailed work on navigation, guidance, and control (24 citations), have laid the groundwork for scalable, multi-vehicle underwater operations. Through his research, Duarte has helped transform the concept of cooperative marine robotics from theory into practical, field-deployable systems. His achievements include driving the first-year progress of the WiMUST project, which has set new standards for efficiency and accuracy in underwater geophysical surveys. For students and researchers, Duarte’s work exemplifies how collaborative robotic swarms can revolutionize ocean exploration and resource assessment.
