About
Dayana Santos Cardoso is a rising leader in the field of autonomous robotics, specializing in the design and control of hybrid unmanned aerial underwater vehicles (HUAUVs). Her research bridges the critical gap between aerial and aquatic domains, focusing on seamless media transition and trajectory planning for multi-environment drones. Her most-cited work, "Trajectory Planning for Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Underwater Vehicles with Smooth Media Transition" (2022), has garnered 29 citations—a strong impact for an early-career researcher—and addresses one of the most challenging problems in robotics: enabling a single vehicle to fly, dive, and transition between air and water without loss of stability. This contribution is pivotal for applications in environmental monitoring, search-and-rescue, and offshore inspection. Cardoso’s work is notable for its rigorous mathematical modeling and simulation-based validation, offering practical pathways for next-generation amphibious drones. As a researcher, she is recognized for her innovative approach to multi-modal locomotion and control systems, positioning her as a key voice in the future of autonomous exploration.
