About

Cecilia Colloseus is an emerging researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and sustainable waste management. Her work focuses primarily on applying cutting-edge robotic systems and AI-driven technologies to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time: plastic recycling. Colloseus has made notable contributions through her investigations into how autonomous robots and machine learning can revolutionize the sorting and separation of post-consumer plastics from municipal waste streams, with her flagship paper "Recyclebot" amassing 34 citations since its 2023 publication — a remarkable uptake for a recent work in this specialized field. Beyond recycling, Colloseus has broadened her research scope to examine the practical deployment of mobile manipulators — hybrid robotic systems combining arm manipulation with mobile platforms — exploring their accessibility for small and medium-sized enterprises. This work, cited 9 times, reflects her interest in democratizing advanced robotics across industry. Her most recent 2025 contribution continues to push the boundaries of AI-assisted recycling within smart environments. With over 55 cumulative citations across just four publications, all released within two years, Colloseus is establishing herself as a dynamic voice in sustainable robotics research.
