About
Dr. Erika Buttaro is a leading researcher in marine robotics and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on the development and application of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for coastal and environmental monitoring. Her most influential work, "Unmanned Surface Vehicles for automatic bathymetry mapping and shores' maintenance" (2014, 25 citations), demonstrates her pioneering contributions to high-resolution underwater terrain mapping. In this study, Buttaro successfully deployed USVs to collect detailed bathymetric data in the Loano area of Liguria, Italy, showcasing a transformative approach to coastal maintenance and survey efficiency. By integrating autonomous navigation with precision sampling, her research has significantly advanced the practical use of unmanned platforms for hydrographic applications, reducing human risk and operational costs. Buttaro’s work stands as a key reference for engineers and scientists developing autonomous solutions for marine geospatial data acquisition, solidifying her reputation as an innovator in the field of robotic coastal management.
