About
Laura Moretti is a researcher specializing in road infrastructure maintenance, sustainable pavement materials, and autonomous robotic systems for urban mobility. Her work sits at the intersection of civil engineering and robotics, with a particular focus on developing innovative, cost-effective solutions for pothole detection and repair. Moretti is best known for her central role in the European Commission's Horizon 2020 **InfraROB** project, which has driven much of her most impactful research. Through this initiative, she has contributed to developing a fully autonomous robotic system capable of detecting, mapping, and repairing road potholes using 3D-printing technology and a specially formulated cold-asphalt mixture. Her 2023 paper on a Raspberry Pi-based photogrammetric pothole mapping system has already garnered 20 citations, reflecting strong interest from both the engineering and robotics communities. Beyond robotics, Moretti has explored eco-efficient pavement solutions for cycling infrastructure, championing sustainable, recycled materials aligned with European climate policy goals. Collectively, her publications have accumulated over 40 citations in just a few years, signaling a rapidly growing influence in smart infrastructure research. Her work offers practical, scalable answers to one of urban transportation's most persistent and costly challenges.
