About
Pep Negre-Carrasco is a leading researcher in underwater robotics, with a primary focus on visual-aided navigation, sensor fusion, and autonomous systems for marine environments. His work addresses critical challenges in shallow-water observation, mapping, and 3D reconstruction, where traditional GPS and acoustic positioning systems are often unreliable. His most-cited paper, "Inertial Sensor Self-Calibration in a Visually-Aided Navigation Approach for a Micro-AUV" (2015, 22 citations), introduces a novel solution that integrates MEMS-based inertial measurement units with stereo cameras and pressure sensors, enabling precise self-calibration and robust navigation for micro autonomous underwater vehicles. This platform serves as a versatile research and testing tool, advancing the capabilities of low-cost, compact AUVs for scientific and industrial applications. Negre-Carrasco’s contributions have been instrumental in improving the accuracy and reliability of underwater localization, directly impacting fields such as marine biology, archaeology, and environmental monitoring. His work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical sensor fusion algorithms and practical, deployable robotic systems, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation autonomous underwater technologies.
