About

Lakshminarasimhan Srinivasan is a pioneering researcher in telerobotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on enabling reliable remote control of robots over variable and constrained networks. His major contributions center on the innovative use of WebSockets as a low-latency, full-duplex communication protocol for teleoperation—a concept he advanced in his most-cited work, *"Analysis of WebSockets as the New Age Protocol for Remote Robot Tele-operation"* (19 citations). He further developed this into a duplex WebSocket system for variable bandwidth environments, and explored augmented reality navigation to mitigate time delays in teleoperation. Srinivasan also addressed the underexplored challenge of multi-user control of a single robot through an adaptive, intelligent voting framework. Beyond technical design, he recognized the educational potential of telerobotics, proposing a pedagogical and technology management framework for its use in classrooms. His work on IoT-based multi-sensor surveillance robots also demonstrates a practical application of his research. With a career spanning foundational protocol design to adaptive multi-agent control, Srinivasan’s research has laid important groundwork for robust, scalable, and educational teleoperation systems.
