About
Paolo Sivilotti is a leading researcher in precision viticulture, whose work bridges agricultural science and robotics to transform vineyard management. His key research areas include remote sensing, water stress monitoring, and the application of autonomous systems in agriculture. Sivilotti’s major contribution lies in developing integrated, multi-platform approaches for assessing grapevine canopy status, most notably demonstrated in his highly cited 2023 study. This work pioneered the combined use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground mobile robots to capture multispectral imagery and derive vegetation indices, enabling a detailed, non-invasive analysis of how different water regimes affect vine physiology. By fusing aerial and ground-level data, his methodology offers unprecedented spatial resolution for precision irrigation and canopy management. With over 10 citations for this flagship paper alone, Sivilotti’s research is gaining rapid recognition for its practical impact on sustainable viticulture. His innovative use of robotics as an aid for monitoring and mapping positions him at the forefront of digital agriculture, providing actionable tools for growers to optimize water use and grape quality in the face of climate change.
