About
Celia Raposo is a leading innovator in the field of multimodal robotics, with a primary focus on aerial–aquatic vehicles. Her most influential work centers on the design and implementation of novel robots capable of seamlessly transitioning between flight and water navigation. Raposo’s major contribution is the development of the SailMAV, a groundbreaking multi-modal flying sailing robot that addresses the long-standing challenge of creating a single platform capable of efficient operation in both air and water. This work, published in 2019, has garnered 47 citations, highlighting its significance in overcoming the conflicting design requirements that have historically limited aerial–aquatic robots to short operation times and poor performance. By integrating sailing and flying capabilities, Raposo has opened new possibilities for long-duration environmental monitoring and search-and-rescue missions in coastal and aquatic environments. Her research is notable for its practical engineering approach, demonstrating a working prototype that balances the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic constraints of dual-medium travel. Raposo’s achievements represent a critical step forward in expanding the operational envelope of small-scale robots, making her a key figure in the advancement of multimodal robotic systems.
