About

Dr. K.N.V. Sriram is a leading researcher in assistive robotics and human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focus on developing intelligent systems to enhance the autonomy of disabled and elderly individuals. His most-cited work, "Mobile Robot Assistance for Disabled and Senior Citizens Using Hand Gestures" (2019, 14 citations), addresses critical challenges faced by those with paralysis and motor impairments. This pioneering study bridges the gap between humans and machines by designing a gesture-controlled mobile robot that assists wheelchair-bound users, enabling them to perform daily tasks independently. Dr. Sriram’s contributions lie in creating intuitive, non-invasive interfaces that translate simple hand gestures into robotic commands, significantly improving quality of life for paraplegic and senior populations. His research underscores the transformative potential of HRI in assistive technologies, with his work serving as a foundational reference for subsequent studies in the field. By prioritizing user-centered design and real-world applicability, Dr. Sriram has established himself as a key innovator in socially assistive robotics, inspiring further exploration into gesture-based control systems for vulnerable communities.
