About
Murat Egi is a leading researcher in underwater human-robot interaction and autonomous marine systems, best known for his central role in the groundbreaking FP7 project “CADDY—Cognitive Autonomous Diving Buddy.” His work focuses on developing cognitive robotic systems that enhance diver safety, monitoring, and assistance in hazardous underwater environments. Egi’s major contributions include the design and validation of a three-component system—an autonomous surface vehicle, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named BUDDY, and a diver—that replaces a human buddy diver with intelligent robotics. His most-cited papers, including the 2016 overview of two years of underwater human-robot interaction (29 citations) and the 2017 final validation trials (24 citations), collectively demonstrate the system’s evolution from concept to real-world testing. Egi has also emphasized critical safety and communication requirements for human-robot interaction underwater, addressing the unique challenges of unpredictable marine settings. With over 90 cumulative citations across his CADDY publications, his work has significantly advanced autonomous diving assistance and set a foundation for future cognitive underwater robotics.
