About

R. Robino is a pioneering researcher in marine robotics, with a primary focus on autonomous inspection systems for maritime infrastructure. His most significant contribution is the development of the MINOAS (Marine INspection rObotic Assistant) system, a groundbreaking project that defined the core requirements and design principles for robotic assistants in ship and offshore structure inspections. This work, published in 2010 and garnering 10 citations, laid the foundation for integrating advanced robotics into the traditionally manual and hazardous field of marine surveying. Robino’s research addresses critical challenges in autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and human-robot collaboration within complex marine environments. His contributions have influenced subsequent developments in underwater and topside inspection technologies, helping to improve safety and efficiency in the maritime industry. As a key figure in the early adoption of robotics for marine applications, Robino’s work continues to inspire researchers and engineers working toward fully autonomous vessel and infrastructure monitoring systems.
