About

Davide Moroni is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and cultural heritage preservation. His work is defined by two major thrusts: pioneering low-cost autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technologies for archaeology and advancing robotic-assisted therapy for neuromotor rehabilitation. As a key contributor to the EU-funded ARROWS project, Moroni helped develop the MARTA AUV—a modular, cost-effective system designed to transform underwater archaeological campaigns. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2015 paper (75 citations), significantly reduces operational costs while enabling comprehensive geo-referenced optical and acoustic data acquisition. In parallel, Moroni has made notable contributions to healthcare robotics, including the Track-Hold System for upper limb robotic-assisted therapy, demonstrating how passive robotic aids can enhance rehabilitation outcomes for stroke patients. His recent foray into deep learning for agricultural applications—specifically olive disease classification (2023, 5 citations)—showcases his versatility in applying AI across domains. With a portfolio spanning underwater robotics, medical devices, and precision agriculture, Moroni exemplifies how engineering innovation can serve both historical discovery and human well-being.
