About
Carolina Aiazzi is a researcher at the forefront of autonomous planetary exploration, specializing in perception sensor modeling and computer vision for space robotics. Her most cited work, "IRIS: High-fidelity Perception Sensor Modeling for Closed-Loop Planetary Simulations" (2022, 12 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework for simulating realistic sensor data—such as cameras and LiDAR—within closed-loop environments. This contribution is pivotal for developing and testing autonomous navigation systems for landers and aerial vehicles on extraterrestrial terrains, enabling safer landing site identification and robust terrain-relative navigation. By bridging the gap between simulation and real-world deployment, Aiazzi’s research directly supports the next generation of planetary missions, where vehicles must operate with minimal human intervention. Her work has already garnered attention for its practical impact, offering a high-fidelity tool that reduces reliance on costly physical testing. Aiazzi continues to push boundaries in perception-driven autonomy, making her a key figure in advancing resilient, intelligent systems for space exploration.
