Nicola Fiore

About

Nicola Fiore is a leading researcher at the forefront of intelligent infrastructure maintenance, specializing in the integration of robotics, photogrammetry, and sustainable materials for road repair. His work directly addresses the critical challenge of pothole detection and remediation, a major cause of road-user injuries and vehicle damage. Fiore’s major contributions include the development of a low-cost, high-performance pothole monitoring system using a robotized Raspberry-based platform for 3D reconstruction and mapping, a methodology that has garnered 20 citations for its practical, scalable approach. He is a key contributor to the Horizon 2020 InfraROB project (Grant Agreement N. 955337), where he has advanced autonomous robotic systems for pothole repair, including a novel carrier that extrudes cold asphalt mixtures. Beyond repair, Fiore explores eco-efficient solutions, such as recycling road-millings for sustainable cycling paths, aligning with EU climate goals. His work on innovative, robotized repair systems and sustainable pavements positions him as a pivotal figure in transforming road maintenance into a safer, more efficient, and environmentally conscious field.
