About
Dr. Catarina Rasquilha Lemos is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, and marine ecology. Her work centers on developing autonomous systems for high-resolution habitat mapping, bridging the gap between aerial and aquatic technologies. In her landmark 2025 study, "Flying Robots Teach Floating Robots," she introduced a novel machine learning framework that integrates data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) to map coastal and marine environments with unprecedented accuracy. By combining UAV photogrammetry for shallow-water benthic composition with acoustic data from ASVs for deeper zones, Lemos solved a critical challenge in seafloor classification across depth gradients. This cross-platform learning approach has already garnered 3 citations in its first year, signaling its transformative potential for conservation and resource management. Her work not only advances robotic autonomy but also provides ecologists with scalable tools for monitoring fragile marine habitats. Lemos’s research exemplifies how interdisciplinary innovation—merging field robotics with AI—can address pressing environmental challenges, making her a rising leader in autonomous marine surveying.
