About
Mauro Giacopelli is a leading researcher in marine robotics and polar exploration, with a focus on developing innovative unmanned systems for extreme environments. His work centers on multi-sensor integration, autonomous underwater vehicle design, and high-resolution 3D environmental mapping. Giacopelli’s major contribution is the development of PROTEUS (Portable RObotic TEchnology for Underwater Surveys), a highly reconfigurable and versatile unmanned marine vehicle that enables precise, integrated surveys in challenging polar conditions. During the XXXVIII Italian Expedition in Antarctica, under the PNRA RESTORE project, he successfully deployed PROTEUS to conduct multi-sensor 3D mapping of Tethys Bay in the Ross Sea, demonstrating the system’s robustness and adaptability for climate and ecosystem monitoring. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered early citations, reflecting its significance for polar science and marine robotics. Giacopelli’s achievements exemplify the fusion of engineering innovation and field deployment, advancing autonomous systems for remote, harsh environments. His research not only pushes the boundaries of underwater technology but also provides critical tools for understanding Antarctic ecosystems and supporting future robotic-based environmental monitoring.
