About

Kunal Khairnar is a researcher focused on advancing mobile robotics, with a particular emphasis on wheeled locomotion systems. His work centers on the design, modeling, and control of innovative robotic platforms, notably the swerve drive robot—a highly maneuverable system capable of independent wheel steering. In his most cited work, "Design and Control of Swerve Drive Robot Using Kinematic Model" (2023, 4 citations), Khairnar addresses the growing demand for agile robots in surveillance, industrial automation, and transportation. He develops a comprehensive kinematic model that enables precise control of the swerve drive's unique steering and driving capabilities, offering a practical framework for real-world deployment. This contribution is significant for its potential to enhance robot mobility in constrained environments, bridging the gap between theoretical kinematics and applied robotics. Khairnar’s research is part of a broader effort to expand the capabilities of wheeled mobile robots, making them more versatile for complex tasks. His work is a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to understand and implement advanced locomotion control in autonomous systems.
