About
Pierluigi Falorni is a leading researcher in the application of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and robotics to humanitarian demining. His work centers on the fusion of ground-penetrating radar (GPR), machine vision, and Industry 4.0 principles to create semi-autonomous robotic platforms for detecting buried landmines, unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosive devices. A key contribution is the design of multi-sensor robotic systems—such as the “UGO-1st” platform—that integrate impulse and holographic GPR with terrain analysis and obstacle avoidance, specifically tailored for conflict zones like Eastern Ukraine. His most cited paper (2016, 21 citations) reviews modern UWB radar systems for demining and through-wall imaging, while subsequent works detail sensor integration, background removal, and defect detection in thermal insulating materials using microwave holograms. Falorni’s research has achieved over 100 total citations, with notable impact in applying the “Demining 4.0” paradigm—leveraging IoT, robotics, and virtual simulation to enhance operator safety and detection accuracy. His work exemplifies a practical, systems-level approach to saving lives through advanced radar and robotic technologies.
