About
Fabio Bruno is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of underwater robotics, human-computer interaction, and the digital preservation of submerged cultural heritage. Based at the University of Calabria, Bruno has made significant contributions to the design and development of underwater manipulation systems, including modular robotic arms controlled through master-slave approaches (48 citations) and innovative soft robotic grippers capable of delicately handling fragile objects in challenging aquatic environments. His research into augmented reality tools for ROV pilots—helping operators better perceive scene depth during underwater manipulation tasks—has drawn considerable attention, accumulating 30 citations and addressing a critical human factors challenge in marine robotics. Beyond engineering, Bruno has demonstrated a sustained commitment to underwater cultural heritage, co-leading the TECTONIC project, which proposes sustainable frameworks for managing and valorizing submerged archaeological sites (27 citations). His earlier comparative studies of active and passive 3D scanning techniques underwater, alongside pioneering virtual reconstructions of sites like the Roman archaeological park of Baia, Italy, helped establish methodological foundations for the field. Spanning more than a decade of productive scholarship, Bruno's interdisciplinary portfolio reflects a rare ability to bridge cutting-edge robotics with the preservation of humanity's submerged past.
