About

Diogo Pedrosa is a robotics researcher focused on autonomous systems for challenging aquatic and subterranean environments. His work centers on underwater acoustic detection, robotic exploration of flooded mines, and environmental remediation using heterogeneous vehicle teams. In his 2018 study on underwater acoustic signal detection, Pedrosa developed an acoustic tag detector for integration into a mobile robotic fish tracking architecture, achieving 6 citations for advancing real-time marine tracking capabilities. His 2017 simulation environment for underground flooded mines, with 5 citations, addressed the high costs and risks of underwater experimentation by creating a safe, observable virtual testbed for unmanned vehicle navigation. Pedrosa’s most notable contribution is the ROSM (Robotic Oil Spill Mitigation) project, which proposes an innovative combination of autonomous vehicles and native microbial consortia for bioremediation of maritime oil spills. This work, cited 4 times, demonstrates his commitment to practical environmental solutions. By bridging simulation, detection, and real-world intervention, Pedrosa has established himself as a versatile engineer whose research directly supports safer, more efficient robotic operations in hazardous underwater and mining environments.
