About

Mateus Sanches Moura is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between digital construction models and autonomous navigation. His primary research areas include simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), multi-modal human-robot interaction, and the application of building information modeling (BIM) to mobile robotics. Moura’s most significant contribution is his pioneering work on BIM-based localization and mapping for mobile robots in construction environments, a paper that has garnered 30 citations. This research demonstrates how pre-existing digital building models can serve as a powerful prior for robot navigation, enabling more robust and efficient localization on dynamic construction sites—a critical step toward automating the construction industry. He has also developed a scalable architecture for designing multi-modal interactions that facilitate qualitative robot navigation, and more recently, a multisensor factor-graph SLAM framework tailored for the challenging terrain of steep slope vineyards. Moura’s work is notable for its practical, application-driven approach, directly addressing real-world challenges in construction and agriculture. His research is essential reading for students and engineers interested in field robotics, SLAM, and the integration of digital twins with autonomous systems.
