About
Jacopo Aguzzi is a pioneering marine technologist and deep-sea ecologist whose research sits at the dynamic intersection of robotics, marine biology, and autonomous systems. His work has fundamentally advanced how scientists observe, sample, and monitor the deep-sea environment — one of Earth's most inaccessible frontiers. Aguzzi has made landmark contributions to the development of underwater robotic platforms, including crawlers, legged robots, and ROV-based systems designed for bentho-pelagic monitoring, specimen collection, and fisheries assessment. His research on tracking Norway lobster (*Nephrops norvegicus*) using acoustic telemetry combined with mobile robotics has opened new avenues for non-invasive, fishery-independent stock assessments. Notably, his work extends beyond Earth's oceans: he has proposed innovative frameworks for exploring extraterrestrial oceans on Saturn's moon Enceladus, bridging deep-sea and space exploration technologies. Aguzzi has also championed AI-powered species classification using YOLO-based edge computing on underwater crawlers, and has led ecosystem restoration monitoring initiatives aligned with UN sustainability goals. With papers accumulating hundreds of citations — including 63 for his underwater gripper review alone — his interdisciplinary contributions are shaping the future of ocean science and beyond.
