About
Marco Lupia is a leading researcher at the intersection of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and autonomous marine robotics. His primary contributions lie in the automated generation of software robots, where he pioneered techniques to synthesize executable RPA scripts directly from user interface logs. His seminal work, "Automated Generation of Executable RPA Scripts from User Interface Logs" (2020, 29 citations), introduced a paradigm shift by enabling reactive synthesis—allowing software robots to be built automatically from recorded user interactions, dramatically reducing manual programming effort. This line of research culminated in the development of SmartRPA, a tool that reactively generates software robots from UI logs, earning him recognition for bridging the gap between human workflow observation and automation deployment. Beyond RPA, Lupia has made significant strides in marine robotics. His work on "Advanced Underwater Acoustic Networking and Cooperation of Multiple Marine Robots" (2015, 7 citations) integrated communications, networking, and control to enable heterogeneous autonomous vehicle coordination. He also led the design of BAICal, an autonomous surface vehicle with a novel multimission management architecture, demonstrating his versatility in applying automation principles across domains. With over 70 total citations, Lupia’s research continues to shape both enterprise automation and autonomous systems.
