About
Caroline Joyce Sta. Romana is a rising engineer whose work focuses on disaster robotics and mechatronic systems, particularly for flood-prone regions like the Philippines. Her most cited paper, "Retrofitting a Commercially Available Remote Controlled Boat into an Amphibious Robot for Flood Operations Rescue Surveillance (FlOReS) Assistance" (2024), exemplifies her commitment to practical, low-cost innovation. In this study, she transformed a standard RC boat into an amphibious surveillance robot capable of navigating both water and land, directly addressing the urgent need for rapid, deployable rescue tools during recurrent flood disasters. While early in her career—with her top paper currently holding 3 citations—Sta. Romana’s work stands out for its immediate societal relevance and hands-on engineering approach. By prioritizing retrofitting over building from scratch, she demonstrates a resourceful methodology that makes advanced robotics accessible in resource-constrained settings. Her research not only contributes to the field of humanitarian robotics but also sets a precedent for scalable, community-centered disaster response technologies. As she continues to develop her portfolio, Sta. Romana is poised to become a key voice in resilient infrastructure and autonomous rescue systems.
