About

B.S. Pranathi is a robotics researcher focused on developing intelligent, human-centered autonomous systems for healthcare and security applications. Her most impactful work, "Sahayantra - A Patient Assistance Robot" (2020), addresses critical healthcare challenges exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including nurse shortages and PPE scarcity in India. By designing a medical assistance robot that reduces human exposure to infection and alleviates staff burden, Pranathi directly contributed to safer clinical environments—a contribution recognized with 11 citations. In parallel, her research on "Effective Descriptors based Face Recognition Technique for Robotic Surveillance Systems" (2018) advances robotic autonomy by proposing the SPHORB face recognition method, which enhances surveillance bots’ ability to identify individuals efficiently and accurately. This work, cited 5 times, strengthens the integration of robust computer vision into mobile robotics. Together, these contributions demonstrate Pranathi’s commitment to deploying practical robotic solutions for pressing societal needs—from pandemic response to public safety. Her work exemplifies how targeted engineering can bridge the gap between robotic capability and real-world impact.
