About
Sherwin A. Guirnaldo is a robotics researcher specializing in aerial-ground collaborative systems for extreme environment exploration, with a primary focus on volcano monitoring and disaster response. His work centers on developing innovative solutions for the retrieval and coordination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), addressing critical challenges in hazardous terrains like the Taal volcano in the Philippines. Guirnaldo’s major contributions include the design of a flippable mobile ground robot for volcano exploration, which integrates symmetrical design for resilience in rugged landscapes, and the development of visual servoing systems that enable autonomous drone-ground robot alignment for safe retrieval operations. His research on YOLO instance segmentation models for drone detection has advanced visual servo control markers, enhancing collaborative robot efficiency. With over 20 citations across his most-cited papers, his work has garnered attention for its practical impact on reducing human risk in volcanic monitoring. Notable achievements include pioneering the concept of UAV-UGV collaboration for volcano exploration, with studies published from 2022 to 2025 that lay the groundwork for safer, more autonomous robotic systems in dangerous environments.
