About

A. Cuenca is a researcher specializing in agricultural robotics, precision viticulture, and autonomous sensing systems for sustainable food production. Their work sits at the intersection of robotics and smart agriculture, focusing on developing practical, data-driven tools that empower growers to make better-informed decisions while reducing labor dependency and resource consumption. Cuenca's most influential contribution, "Augmented Perception for Agricultural Robots Navigation" (2020, 68 citations), addresses the pressing challenge of deploying autonomous robots in unstructured agricultural environments, tackling critical issues such as labor shortages and rising production costs. Complementing this, their highly cited vineyard-focused studies — "Monitoring and Mapping Vineyard Water Status Using Non-Invasive Technologies by a Ground Robot" (2021, 46 citations) and "Robotics-based vineyard water potential monitoring at high resolution" (2021, 26 citations) — demonstrate innovative use of proximal sensing aboard Autonomous Ground Vehicles (AGVs) to generate high-resolution crop water maps, directly supporting precision irrigation practices. Their work on sensing architectures further highlights a commitment to data-driven agriculture as a systemic solution to food sustainability challenges. With over 150 cumulative citations across recent publications, Cuenca's research is making a meaningful impact on the future of intelligent, resource-efficient farming.
