About
Paula Lima is a robotics researcher whose work tackles the urgent environmental challenge of marine plastic pollution. Her primary research areas lie in autonomous robotic systems for environmental monitoring and intervention, with a specific focus on the detection and recovery of lost fishing gear—a major source of ocean microplastics. Her most notable contribution is the development of IRIS, an autonomous robotic vehicle designed for the recovery of lost fishing nets, presented in her 2020 paper, "A robotic solution for NETTAG lost fishing net problem." This work was conducted within the framework of the NetTag project, a European Union initiative funded by EASME. While her citation count is currently modest, the practical, applied nature of her research—directly addressing a critical environmental problem—demonstrates significant potential for real-world impact. Lima’s work exemplifies how robotics can be leveraged for ecological preservation, and her contributions are a valuable step toward scalable solutions for marine litter.
