About
Tiago Milagres Miranda is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of autonomous robotics, underwater surveying, and 3D environmental reconstruction. His key contributions center on developing integrated multi-vehicle systems for mapping challenging, enclosed water spaces—particularly flooded open-pit mines. In his most cited work, part of the VAMOS! Project, Miranda demonstrated a pioneering approach by combining an autonomous surface vehicle (the ROAZ USV) with an unmanned aerial vehicle (the Otus UAV) to perform simultaneous aerial and underwater surveys. This system produced high-fidelity 3D bathymetric maps and aerial reconstructions from image data, enabling safe, efficient inspection of hazardous submerged environments. While his citation count is still growing, the work has been foundational for advancing multi-domain robotic mapping in mining and underwater infrastructure contexts. Miranda’s research bridges the gap between aerial and aquatic robotics, offering practical solutions for environmental monitoring and industrial site assessment. His contributions continue to influence the development of autonomous systems for complex, real-world surveying tasks.
