About
Miguel Figliozzi is a prominent transportation and urban logistics researcher whose work has significantly shaped our understanding of autonomous delivery systems and their real-world applications. Based at Portland State University, Figliozzi has carved out a distinctive niche at the intersection of emerging delivery technologies, urban freight efficiency, and sustainability. His research portfolio centers on autonomous delivery robots (ADRs), encompassing both sidewalk and road-based systems, with a growing focus on their environmental and social implications. His 2019 study on sidewalk autonomous delivery robots has garnered over 200 citations, establishing foundational knowledge about how these technologies can address the surging demand for e-commerce and same-day deliveries. This work was complemented by his highly cited 2020 investigation into public acceptance of autonomous delivery robots during the COVID-19 pandemic, which accumulated 225 citations and proved remarkably timely as contactless delivery became a global priority. Figliozzi's contributions extend to quantifying the environmental benefits of ADRs, examining their potential to reduce urban freight energy consumption and carbon emissions — research increasingly vital as cities seek sustainable logistics solutions. Collectively, his work has generated over 600 citations, making him an essential voice for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of autonomous last-mile delivery.
