About
Joshua Roe is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of soft sensing, autonomous navigation, and safety-critical systems. His most cited paper introduces a porous PDMS-based flexible pressure sensor for autonomous underwater vehicles, achieving wide-range sensitivity through a capacitive design—a key contribution to robust tactile sensing in marine environments. With 29 citations, this work underscores his ability to bridge materials engineering with practical robotic platforms. Roe also leads efforts in run-time safety compliance, as demonstrated in his 2020 framework for self-certification of robotics, which has garnered 16 citations and provides a transferable methodology for verifying autonomous missions in confined spaces. His adaptive heading approach for perception-aware trajectory following further advances localization accuracy during autonomous navigation. Notably, Roe’s research on symbiotic system-of-systems design for offshore wind farms addresses the challenge of resilient, beyond-visual-line-of-sight autonomy, integrating lifecycle learning and human-robot co-evolution. Through these contributions, Roe is shaping safer, more perceptive, and more adaptable autonomous systems for challenging real-world deployments.
