About

A. Todorova is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of marine robotics, autonomous systems, and inspection technology. Her most notable contribution is the design and development of the MINOAS (Marine INspection rObotic Assistant) system, a pioneering project that advanced the use of robotic assistants for ship hull inspection. The foundational paper, "MINOAS a Marine INspection rObotic Assistant: system requirements and design" (2010), has garnered 10 citations, reflecting its role in shaping early discussions on autonomous marine inspection. Todorova’s work addresses critical challenges in maritime safety and efficiency, proposing a robotic solution that reduces human risk and operational downtime. By defining system requirements and design principles for such assistants, she helped lay the groundwork for subsequent innovations in underwater and surface vessel inspection. Her research is particularly valuable for students and engineers exploring robotics in harsh environments, offering a clear example of how engineering design can meet real-world industrial needs. Todorova’s contributions underscore the growing importance of automation in marine operations, making her a key figure in the evolution of intelligent inspection systems.
