About
Ben Bartlett is a leading researcher in the field of robotic inspection and infrastructure monitoring, with a focus on cooperative multi-agent systems and LiDAR-based 3D reconstruction. His work addresses critical challenges in automating the inspection of complex, unknown structures, particularly bridges. Bartlett’s major contribution is the development of a novel cooperative path-planning framework that enables Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) to collaboratively navigate and map previously unsurveyed bridges. This approach, published in his highly cited 2024 paper, ensures comprehensive data capture and safe operation in challenging environments. His research, conducted within the EU-funded RAPID project, has already garnered significant attention, with his most cited work accumulating over 4 citations. By integrating advanced LiDAR technology with autonomous navigation, Bartlett is paving the way for safer, more efficient infrastructure assessments, reducing the need for human inspectors in hazardous conditions. His work stands as a testament to the power of cooperative robotics in solving real-world engineering problems.
