About

Dr. Vitor Guizlini is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and cybersecurity, with a primary focus on securing autonomous systems against emerging threats. His most cited work, "Evaluation of DoS Attacks on Commercial Wi-Fi-Based UAVs" (2022, 19 citations), addresses a critical gap in the field: while most robotics research prioritizes perception, control, and planning, Guizlini emphasizes that security vulnerabilities—particularly denial-of-service attacks on Wi-Fi-enabled drones—pose real-world risks to large-scale UAV deployment. By systematically evaluating these attacks, he provides foundational insights for building more resilient aerial platforms. His contributions bridge the gap between classical robotics challenges and modern cybersecurity imperatives, highlighting the need for security-by-design in autonomous systems. Guizlini’s work is especially impactful for students and researchers developing commercial UAVs, as it underscores that robust security is not an afterthought but a prerequisite for safe, widespread adoption. His research continues to shape how the robotics community approaches threat modeling and risk mitigation in connected, autonomous vehicles.
