About
Jai Raj is a leading researcher in autonomous multi-robot systems, specializing in motion planning, collision avoidance, and swarm intelligence for complex, dynamic environments. His work bridges theoretical control theory and practical robotics, with a focus on car-like robots, 1-trailer systems, and aerial vehicles. Raj’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering approach to navigation in extended dynamic environments, notably his 2017 paper on carlike robots with swarm avoidance (44 citations), which addresses the emerging challenge of defending against autonomous swarms. He further advanced the field by developing the first set of controllers for 3D rectangular plane avoidance (2020, 25 citations) and extending car-like robot navigation to three-dimensional space (2018, 22 citations). His research on motion control for flocks of 1-trailer robots (2021, 20 citations) and swarming intelligence (2015, 16 citations) demonstrates consistent innovation in cooperative multi-agent systems. Raj’s work on autonomous UAV landing on mobile platforms (2021) and leader-follower fixed-wing maneuvers (2023) highlights his versatility across ground and aerial domains. With over 140 total citations, his contributions are essential for students and researchers tackling real-world challenges in autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and multi-robot coordination.
