Domain Interests

Research

My research intersts are on designing motion planning algorithms for multi-robot system that can deal with advance problems like cooperative manipulation, junction congestion, collaborative excavation, etc. I am inclined to enable robots or team of robots to perform to tasks that are hazardous and impossible for humans to perform.

It is difficult for humans to work in underwater environments due to restricted reachability and unfavourable conditions. Performing construction activities is even more challenging as human to machine collaboration becomes more difficult. Hence, to facilitate cooperative transportation of complex structures we have developed a novel cooperative path planning algorithm: Intersection of Manifolds RRT* (IMaRRT*).

We are keen to extend this work to incorporate environment dynamics.
