About

Joao Marcos Correia Marques is a robotics researcher whose work spans teleoperation, autonomous systems, and robotic disinfection technologies. His research addresses some of the most pressing challenges at the intersection of human-robot interaction and public health, demonstrating both technical depth and real-world applicability. Marques has made notable contributions to immersive telepresence, as evidenced by his work on the AVATRINA robot avatar, which explores commodity-based solutions for high-fidelity remote presence — a growing field with applications ranging from remote work to disaster response. This paper has already garnered 8 citations since its 2024 publication, signaling strong early interest from the research community. His work on robotic disinfection has been particularly timely and impactful. Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Marques developed real-time semantic 3D reconstruction techniques enabling robots to identify and disinfect high-touch surfaces efficiently, accumulating 6 citations. Complementing this, his optimized UV coverage planning research addresses critical gaps in existing disinfection strategies by ensuring thorough surface exposure while minimizing disinfection time. Together, these contributions position Marques as an emerging researcher bridging autonomous robotics, computer vision, and applied human health — fields of growing importance in both academic and industrial contexts.
