About
Miguel A. Trujillo-Soto is a robotics researcher specializing in aerial robotic inspection for industrial environments, with a particular focus on the petrochemical sector. His work addresses critical challenges in automated infrastructure monitoring, especially in GNSS-denied environments where traditional navigation fails. His most cited paper, "Petrochemical Industry Aerial Robotic Inspection: A Novel Concept for Landing and Deploying Robots on Pipes" (2024, 3 citations), introduces a hybrid aerial robot designed for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of petrochemical pipes. Trujillo-Soto’s key contribution is a novel method for recognizing and landing on pipes in degraded signal areas, enabling precise deployment of inspection robots without relying on satellite navigation. This innovation enhances safety and efficiency in hazardous industrial settings, reducing human exposure to dangerous environments. While his citation count is still growing, his work represents a significant step toward autonomous industrial inspection, with potential applications in oil and gas, chemical plants, and other critical infrastructure. Trujillo-Soto’s research bridges robotics, computer vision, and structural health monitoring, positioning him as an emerging leader in field robotics.
