About
Misha Afaq is a researcher at the forefront of intelligent robotic systems, specializing in autonomous navigation, thermal management, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for mobile robotics. Their work addresses critical challenges in deploying robots in extreme weather and autonomous manufacturing environments. Afaq’s most notable contribution is the development of an intelligent thermal management system using fuzzy logic control, analyzed through ANSYS Fluent simulations, which ensures reliable mobile robot operation in harsh conditions (14 citations). They have also pioneered vision- and LiDAR-based autonomous docking and recharging systems for continuous manufacturing, a key enabler for fully autonomous machine tending (10 citations). Afaq’s comparative analysis of CFD software—ANSYS Fluent versus Solidworks—for heating/cooling system design provides valuable methodological insights for the robotics community (3 citations). Additionally, their simulation-based design of mobile inspection robots for extreme weather, including high winds and temperature fluctuations, demonstrates practical applications in hazardous environments (3 citations). With a focused portfolio on simulation-driven design and intelligent control, Afaq’s work is shaping the future of resilient, autonomous mobile robots for industrial and extreme-environment applications.
