About
Pietro Stinco is a researcher specializing in underwater acoustics, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and robotic surveillance networks, with a particular focus on passive sonar signal processing and cooperative autonomy for maritime applications. His work bridges advanced signal processing with autonomous systems, addressing some of the most challenging problems in underwater situational awareness. Among his most significant contributions is his pioneering research on acoustic vector sensors deployed on buoyancy gliders, enabling low-frequency passive detection and direction-of-arrival estimation in complex oceanic environments — a paper that has garnered over 50 citations since 2020. Stinco has also made substantial methodological contributions through his development of Bayesian Occupancy Grid mapping frameworks, which form the perception backbone for coordinating networks of autonomous underwater robots in surveillance and target localization tasks. His broader research portfolio demonstrates sustained impact across cooperative AUV task allocation, data fusion, and real-world sea trial validation, including notable NATO exercises such as REPMUS21 and REPMUS22, and the EU H2020 INFORE project. With cumulative citations exceeding 130 across his key works, Stinco's research has meaningfully advanced the operational capability of autonomous maritime systems, making him a noteworthy contributor to underwater robotics and ocean surveillance technology.
