About
Emanuele Gissi is a leading researcher in field and service robotics, with a focus on deploying autonomous systems for disaster response and cultural heritage preservation. His most impactful work stems from the TRADR project, where he coordinated the real-world deployment of ground and aerial robots in the aftermath of the 2016 earthquake in Amatrice, Italy. This landmark effort—detailed in his highly cited 2016 brief report (55 citations)—demonstrated the first integrated use of heterogeneous robots to create detailed 3D textured models of two severely damaged churches of national heritage value. By enabling remote structural assessment and digital preservation, Gissi’s contributions bridge robotics, emergency management, and conservation science. His work has set a benchmark for human-robot teaming in hazardous environments, proving that autonomous systems can operate effectively under extreme conditions. Beyond this, Gissi’s research advances multi-robot coordination, SLAM, and mission planning for unstructured settings, earning him recognition as a pioneer in field robotics for societal benefit.
