About

Dankan Gowda is a robotics and automation researcher whose work centers on creating intelligent, sustainable, and cost-effective robotic solutions for industrial and safety-critical applications. His most impactful contributions focus on developing autonomous mobile robots that enhance productivity while reducing human risk. His 2023 paper on a wireless and solar-powered multipurpose robot for industrial automation (39 citations) presents a sustainable approach to automating material handling and transportation tasks. Complementing this, his work on an industrial automated multipurpose robot using WiFi (33 citations) demonstrates a low-cost, phone-controlled system integrating a robotic arm for pick-and-place and floor cleaning operations. Gowda has also advanced swarm intelligence for obstacle avoidance (30 citations), enabling robots to dynamically adapt to changing environments for safer object detection in hazardous areas. His most recent work introduces an autonomous fire-fighting robot with night vision capabilities, combining flame sensors, gas detection, and voice control for enhanced emergency response. Through these innovations, Gowda consistently bridges the gap between cutting-edge automation and practical, deployable systems that address real-world industrial and safety challenges.
