About
Francesco Peluso is a leading researcher in the integration of marine robotics and underwater landscape archaeology, with a focus on coastal and submerged cultural heritage. His work centers on the development and application of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (USVs) equipped with advanced optical and acoustic sensors for high-resolution, multiscale reconstruction of natural and archaeological underwater environments. Peluso’s major contributions include pioneering an integrated methodology that combines geophysical and photogrammetric sensors on robotic platforms, enabling precise mapping of submerged landscapes—exemplified by his highly cited study of the Nisida Roman Harbour in the Gulf of Naples (48 citations). This work, set in the volcanically active Campi Flegrei, demonstrates how innovative marine instrumentation can reveal key archaeological sites in the Mediterranean. His research on multiscale reconstruction (20 citations) further solidifies his impact, while his recent work on containerized distributed processing for marine litter detection (7 citations) highlights his move toward environmental monitoring. Peluso’s achievements lie in bridging robotics, geophysics, and archaeology, offering transformative tools for exploring and preserving underwater heritage.
