About

Sean Clark U. Dominguez is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous multi-agent systems, with a core focus on drone–ground robot coordination and visual servo control. His work addresses the critical challenge of safely retrieving ground robots from hazardous environments—such as active volcano exploration sites—by enabling precise, autonomous alignment between aerial drones and roving ground platforms. Dominguez’s most cited paper, “Ground Rover Visual Servo Control for Drone Alignment” (2022, 8 citations), introduced a novel servoing method that allows a ground robot to accurately position itself beneath a hovering drone, facilitating swift and safe post-mission retrieval. He extended this work in “Autonomous Drone-Ground Robot Alignment Through Ground Robot Visual Servo Control With Drone Detection and Tilt Correction” (2025), incorporating drone detection and tilt correction to enhance robustness in real-world conditions. Dominguez’s contributions are pivotal for advancing autonomous field robotics, reducing human risk in extreme environments, and improving the reliability of heterogeneous robot teams. His research is particularly notable for its practical emphasis on real-time visual feedback and adaptive control, making it highly relevant for students and engineers working on multi-robot systems, disaster response, and planetary exploration.
