About

Michele Mangiameli is a leading researcher at the intersection of geospatial information systems (GIS), robotics, and emergency management. His work focuses on integrating real-time field data into GIS platforms to support decision-making during hydrological emergencies and humanitarian crises. Mangiameli’s most influential contribution is his pioneering architecture for UAV/UGV cooperation in humanitarian demining, which allows unmanned ground vehicles to be teleoperated more effectively in challenging environments—a paper that has garnered 66 citations and remains a cornerstone in the field. He also developed a road network modeling approach in open-source GIS to enable autonomous robot navigation, and advanced methods for rapidly transferring monitoring and damage reconnaissance data during disasters. His research demonstrates how GIS can serve as a central hub for coordinating robotic systems and emergency response teams. With a citation count exceeding 100 across his top works, Mangiameli’s impact is evident in both academic literature and practical applications. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to using geospatial technology and robotics to solve real-world problems, from saving lives in minefields to managing flood emergencies.
