About
Lorenzo Bazzarello is a marine robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of autonomous systems, underwater navigation, and maritime security. His most influential contribution, "Marine Robots for Underwater Surveillance" (2020, 74 citations), has become a key reference in the field, comprehensively reviewing the role of unmanned vehicles in homeland defense, force protection, and antiterrorism applications. This work established him as a leading voice on the strategic deployment of marine robots for security-critical missions. A central theme across Bazzarello's research is the challenge of underwater localization and cooperative autonomy. Without GPS reliability beneath the surface, he has explored acoustic-based localization strategies, notably in his work on cooperative ASV/AUV systems (2021, 17 citations), where surface and underwater vehicles collaborate to improve navigation accuracy. His experimental studies on autonomous surface vehicles tracking and following autonomous underwater vehicles further demonstrate his hands-on, systems-level approach to multi-robot coordination. Bazzarello has also contributed to European collaborative research through the H2020 EUMarineRobots project and participated in real-world field exercises such as REPMUS-21, underscoring his commitment to translating laboratory research into operational maritime environments. His growing body of work reflects both scientific rigor and practical impact in marine autonomy.
