Giuseppe Loprencipe

About

Giuseppe Loprencipe is a leading researcher at the forefront of intelligent road infrastructure and autonomous maintenance systems. His work centers on the integration of robotics, photogrammetry, and sustainable materials to revolutionize road repair and safety. Loprencipe’s major contributions include developing a low-cost, robotized Raspberry-based system for 3D pothole reconstruction and mapping (20 citations), which enables precise, automated damage assessment. He also pioneered a compact autonomous vehicle equipped with a 3D printer that extrudes a novel cold-asphalt mixture for pothole repair, a key innovation from the Horizon 2020 InfraROB project. His research extends to eco-efficient asphalt recycling for urban slow mobility, promoting sustainable cycling path construction. With a growing citation impact, Loprencipe’s work is directly shaping the future of smart, resilient road networks. His achievements include leading the InfraROB initiative, which aims to enhance road integrity and safety through autonomous robotic solutions, and his recent publications (2023–2025) highlight his ongoing influence in merging robotics, materials science, and civil engineering for practical, real-world applications.
