About
Kresimir Dulic is a leading researcher in field and service robotics, with a focus on deploying autonomous systems in disaster response and cultural heritage preservation. His most impactful work centers on the TRADR project, where he pioneered the coordinated use of ground and aerial robots for real-world emergency scenarios. In a landmark 2016 study (55 citations), Dulic documented the first-ever deployment of such robots after the devastating earthquake in Amatrice, Italy, where his team collected critical data to create detailed 3D textured models of two historically significant, badly damaged churches. This work demonstrated how robotics can safely assess structural damage in inaccessible areas, directly informing rescue and preservation efforts. Beyond this, Dulic’s contributions have advanced human-robot teaming, multi-robot coordination, and long-term autonomy in degraded environments. His research has been widely cited for bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and operational field use, earning him recognition as a pioneer in applying robotics to protect both human life and cultural heritage.
