Giovanni Beltrame is a Professor in the Computer and Software Engineering Department at Polytechnique Montréal, where he directs the MIST Lab. His research spans swarm robotics, embedded and reconfigurable computing, and autonomous systems for extreme environments — from drone swarms and legged robots to planetary analogue and subterranean missions.
Research Interests
- Swarm robotics — decentralized coordination, collective decision-making, and the software ecosystems that make swarms deployable in the field.
- Field & space robotics — autonomy for caves, volcanic terrain, arctic conditions, and simulated planetary surfaces, in collaboration with ESA, the CSA, and NASA JPL.
- Embedded systems — fault-tolerant and self-adaptive architectures for computing at the edge.
