About

Alexandru But is a robotics researcher focused on advancing autonomous systems for extreme environments, particularly in maritime and space applications. His work centers on multi-robot cooperation, legged locomotion, and infrastructure inspection and maintenance. But’s most cited paper, “ATLANTIS - The Atlantic Testing Platform for Maritime Robotics” (2021, 18 citations), introduces a pioneering pilot infrastructure in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, for demonstrating key robotic technologies used in offshore wind farm inspection and maintenance. This contribution is critical for enabling safe, efficient, and autonomous operations in harsh marine settings. In “Mantis Within a Multi Robot Team for Lunar Exploration and Construction Tasks” (2022, 6 citations), But explores the use of the six-legged walking robot Mantis in cooperative teams for building In-Situ Resource Utilization facilities on the Moon, advancing autonomous multi-robot coordination for space construction. His 2024 work on heterogeneous multi-robot teams for lunar infrastructure further underscores his impact in space robotics. With a growing citation record, But is shaping the future of autonomous robotics in both offshore energy and extraterrestrial construction.
