Piotr Jasiobedzki

About

Piotr Jasiobedzki is a leading researcher in computer vision and autonomous robotics, with a career spanning planetary exploration, space operations, and hazardous environment mapping. His work centers on 3D vision-based modeling, localization, and pose estimation for robotic systems operating in challenging, unstructured settings. He made foundational contributions to photo-realistic 3D model reconstruction from hand-held devices, enabling applications in forensics, mining, and mobile robotics—a paper on this topic has garnered 48 citations. His most cited work, "Vision Based Modeling and Localization for Planetary Exploration Rovers" (72 citations), addresses autonomous rover navigation over kilometer-scale distances. Jasiobedzki also developed the Space Vision Marker System (SVMS) for satellite rendezvous and docking, and led the ARK project, an autonomous robot for known industrial environments (41 citations). Notably, he created C2SM, a mobile system for detecting and 3D mapping chemical, radiological, and nuclear contamination, enhancing first responder situational awareness. His research has directly supported NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope robotic servicing mission and satellite on-orbit servicing, demonstrating real-world impact across space, industrial, and security domains.
