About

Bighnaraj Panigrahi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of wireless communications, robotics, and networked systems, with a particular focus on enabling reliable, low-latency connectivity for autonomous and mission-critical applications. His research has made notable contributions to the application of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) in robotic and drone communications, demonstrating how aggregating multiple network interfaces can significantly enhance throughput and reliability for mobile robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles — work that has garnered consistent citation across the robotics and networking communities. Panigrahi's investigations into indoor wireless environments have been especially impactful, encompassing path loss modeling for WiFi systems, wireless mesh routing, and delay-sensitive relaying in multi-robot networks — all directly relevant to the Industry 4.0 landscape of smart factories and automated warehouses. His SkyHelp project extended these principles to mining safety, leveraging drone-assisted communication to protect mine personnel. More recently, his work on uplink scheduling for tactile internet applications reflects a growing engagement with the ultra-reliable, low-latency demands of haptic communication. With citations spanning robotics, industrial IoT, and next-generation networks, Panigrahi represents a valuable bridge between communication theory and real-world autonomous systems deployment.
