About
Diego Centelles is a researcher specializing in underwater robotics, wireless communications, and autonomous systems, with particular expertise in bridging the gap between communication constraints and real-world robotic applications. His work has made significant contributions to the development of frameworks and protocols enabling cooperative autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to operate effectively in challenging aquatic environments. Among his most impactful contributions is UWSim-NET, an open-source simulation framework for modeling underwater wireless communications in robotic contexts, which has garnered 40 combined citations across two key publications and provides researchers worldwide with essential tools for experimentation. Centelles has also pioneered techniques in progressive image compression with region-of-interest prioritization, optimizing visual data transmission under the severe bandwidth limitations inherent to underwater acoustic and radio frequency links. His research on Medium Access Control protocols for multi-robot underwater teams and his involvement in prestigious projects such as MERBOTS and CERNTAURO demonstrate a consistent focus on practical, real-world deployment of cooperative robotic systems in hazardous environments. With over 130 total citations across his publications, Centelles has established himself as a valuable contributor to the growing field of underwater robotic intervention and teleoperation systems.
