About

Dr. Anna Maria Perdon’s research career bridges two critical domains: autonomous underwater robotics and human-safe industrial automation. In her foundational work on underwater structures, she co-developed an automatic navigation and inspection system for robotic vehicles surveying pipelines and submerged infrastructure. This system, detailed in her 2002 paper (11 citations), integrates sensory data with structural maps to autonomously update survey information—a contribution that laid groundwork for modern subsea inspection technologies. More recently, Dr. Perdon has addressed a pressing safety challenge in Industry 4.0. Her 2019 study (3 citations) introduces a novel magnetic sensor designed as an artificial skin for industrial robots. This sensor detects human proximity to prevent collisions, representing a tangible step toward safer human-robot collaboration. She also co-edited the proceedings of the 1990 Università di Genova-Ohio State University Joint Conference on New Trends in Systems Theory (2 citations), reflecting her long-standing engagement with nonlinear systems and stability analysis. While her citation counts are modest, her work’s practical impact—from underwater infrastructure integrity to factory floor safety—demonstrates a career dedicated to translating theoretical systems thinking into real-world robotic solutions.
