About

Nazia Nawar Hassan is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on developing intelligent, human-centered systems that address real-world safety and convenience challenges. Her primary research areas include swarm robotics, IoT-based disaster monitoring, and assistive robotic technologies. Hassan’s most notable contribution is the design and development of **Muktibot**, a bomb disposal robot controlled via a smartphone Android app, with a radio transmitter backup. This system, detailed in her 2016 paper (7 citations), aims to replace human personnel in hazardous bomb disposal scenarios, directly saving lives. She extended this work into disaster management, proposing a **forecast junction** system that integrates IoT and swarm robotics for monitoring natural hazards and climate-related emergencies (2017, 3 citations). Demonstrating her versatility in assistive technology, Hassan also developed a **smart travel bag** that uses voice and gesture control to autonomously follow its user, eliminating the need for manual carrying (2018, 2 citations). Across these projects, her consistent approach combines robotics, mobile applications, and sensor integration to create practical, user-friendly solutions. Hassan’s research stands out for its direct applicability to pressing societal problems—from counter-terrorism and disaster response to everyday convenience—showcasing a commitment to engineering that tangibly improves human safety and quality of life.
