About
Tommaso Fabbri is a leading researcher in marine robotics, specializing in multi-robot coordination, game theory, and distributed control for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). His work addresses critical challenges in underwater autonomy, including communication constraints and asymmetric threat scenarios. Fabbri’s most cited paper (10 citations) introduces a game-theoretic approach for antagonistic-task coordination in underwater robots, enabling effective operation in limited-communication environments. He has also developed a passivity-based distributed control framework (7 citations) that guarantees stability for AUV teams under range-communication constraints—a foundational contribution to cooperative underwater missions. Fabbri has significantly advanced the field through robotics competitions, co-creating the European Robotics League (ERL) and the Robotics for Asset Maintenance and Inspection (RAMI) competition, which engage future engineers in real-world underwater inspection and maintenance tasks. His work on optimizing environmentally-conditioned communications in underwater autonomous networks (5 citations) integrates acoustic models with experimental data, enhancing network connectivity. With a career spanning over a decade, Fabbri’s research bridges theoretical control and practical deployment, making him a pivotal figure in marine robotics and autonomous systems.
