About
G. Mimoso Souza is a leading figure in autonomous underwater robotics, with a primary focus on advancing subsea inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) operations for the oil and gas industry. His most influential work centers on the development of the FlatFish Resident AUV, a groundbreaking autonomous underwater vehicle designed for persistent, long-duration missions. In his seminal 2018 paper, which has garnered 15 citations, Souza tackles the dual challenge of maintaining competitiveness in a low oil price environment while navigating the energy transition. He demonstrates how digitalization and resident AUVs can replace costly, crewed vessel-based operations, enabling safer, more efficient, and continuous subsea monitoring. Souza’s contributions are pivotal in shifting the industry from reactive to predictive maintenance, reducing operational costs and environmental risks. His work on FlatFish represents a significant leap toward fully autonomous subsea infrastructure management, positioning him as a key innovator in the field of marine robotics and digital transformation for offshore energy.
