About

Manaswini Motheram is a robotics researcher whose work centers on human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and autonomous navigation, with a strong emphasis on leveraging the Robot Operating System (ROS) to create intuitive, voice-controlled systems. Her most cited paper, "ROS Based Control of Robot Using Voice Recognition" (2019, 22 citations), pioneered a differential drive robot capable of interpreting and executing spoken commands, addressing the growing demand for smart home and assistive technologies. She further advanced this field with "Human Robot Interaction on Navigation platform using Robot Operating System" (2020, 17 citations), which integrated autonomous navigation with user-friendly interfaces for service robots in environments like hospitals and shopping centers. Her 2023 work, "Robot operating system based autonomous navigation platform with human robot interaction" (10 citations), specifically targets physically challenged and visually impaired users, demonstrating a commitment to inclusive design. Motheram’s contributions are notable for bridging speech recognition, vision-based perception, and autonomous mobility, as seen in her 2021 paper on multimodal perception. With over 50 total citations, her research has practical implications for improving daily living through accessible, intelligent robotic systems.
