About

Mariusz Giergiel is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans mobile robotic systems, inspection robotics, and autonomous navigation, with a particular focus on designing robots capable of operating in challenging and hazardous environments. Based at a Polish institution with close ties to industrial partners such as Cracow Waterworks, Giergiel has built a distinguished portfolio addressing real-world engineering problems through innovative robotic solutions. His most celebrated contributions include the design and analysis of tracked in-pipe inspection robots capable of navigating both circular and rectangular ducts — work that has garnered over 30 citations and sparked follow-up studies in adaptive robot control and mathematical modeling of pedipulator mechanisms. He has also made significant strides in underwater hybrid robotics for reservoir maintenance and contributed a widely referenced review of modular self-reconfigurable robotic systems, reflecting the breadth of his expertise. In recent years, Giergiel has pivoted toward autonomous navigation, publishing influential work on SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques for 3D environment mapping in rough and isolated industrial terrain, accumulating citations that underscore the growing relevance of this research. His combined body of work, exceeding 160 citations across ten key publications, positions him as an important voice in applied robotics and autonomous systems engineering.
