About

Can Dede is a robotics researcher whose work bridges underwater exploration, teleoperation, and humanoid design. His primary research areas include autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), force-feedback teleoperation systems, and fault-tolerant mobile robotics. Dede’s most notable contribution is the design of MARTA (MARine Tool for Archaeology), a modular AUV developed for the ARROWS FP7 European project, which aims to advance underwater archaeological investigations—this work has garnered 35 citations. He has also made significant strides in teleoperation, with papers on real-time force-reflecting systems and the effects of time delays on stability, each cited 8 times, demonstrating his impact on improving remote robotic control. His design of a fault-tolerant holonomic mobile platform (4 citations) further showcases his focus on robust systems for teleoperation test-beds. Additionally, Dede contributed to humanoid robotics with the Cerberus project, exploring complex human-like motion. His work is valuable for students and researchers interested in practical robotics applications, from deep-sea archaeology to resilient teleoperation systems.
