About

Dr. Bruna Castro Porto is a leading researcher in offshore robotics and industrial automation, with a focus on enhancing safety and efficiency in oil and gas operations. Her work centers on the integration of ground robots into complex maritime environments, particularly Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. Her most-cited paper, "Evaluation of the Potential Impact of Ground Robots on FPSO Operations" (2023, 4 citations), presents Petrobras’ pioneering findings on how robotic systems can transform daily crew routines by automating hazardous and repetitive tasks. This research not only identifies practical scenarios for robotic deployment but also establishes a framework for reducing human exposure to risks in offshore platforms. Dr. Porto’s contributions are critical to advancing the digitalization of the energy sector, bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and real-world industrial applications. Her work has been recognized for its direct impact on operational safety and productivity, making her a key figure in the ongoing evolution of autonomous systems in offshore engineering.
