About
Carlo Polidori is a leading researcher in robotic road maintenance and sustainable infrastructure, whose work directly addresses the critical challenge of pothole repair. His primary research areas include autonomous robotic systems, 3D printing for infrastructure, and eco-efficient pavement materials. Polidori’s major contribution is the development of a low-cost, robotized system for pothole 3D reconstruction and mapping, which uses photogrammetry to predict repair needs—a methodology that has garnered 20 citations. He is a key contributor to the Horizon 2020 InfraROB project, where he has pioneered a compact autonomous vehicle equipped with a 3D printer that extrudes a novel cold-asphalt mixture for pothole repair, a breakthrough detailed in his 2024 paper (5 citations). Polidori also explores sustainable solutions, such as eco-efficient asphalt recycling for cycling paths (3 citations), aligning with EU climate goals. With over 40 total citations across his most-cited works, Polidori’s research is not only highly cited but also practically impactful, offering municipalities a cost-effective, autonomous approach to road maintenance that enhances safety and reduces vehicle damage. His work represents a significant step toward smarter, more resilient urban infrastructure.
