About

Pinaki Chakraborty is a researcher whose work bridges the critical domains of computing education and robotics. His primary research areas include the pedagogy of computer programming, human-computer interaction, and robotic manipulation. Chakraborty’s most significant contribution is a comprehensive review of tools and techniques for teaching computer programming, published in 2020, which has garnered 91 citations. This work systematically surveyed instructional strategies such as visual programming and game-based learning, providing a valuable resource for educators seeking to enhance student engagement and comprehension in programming courses. Additionally, his earlier research on robotic grasping—a 2002 review of gripper designs, control methods, and grasp configurations—has accumulated 34 citations, offering foundational insights into industrial robotics. This dual focus on both the human-centric challenge of teaching code and the mechanical intricacies of robotic manipulation highlights Chakraborty’s versatility. His work serves as a key reference for instructors designing programming curricula and for engineers developing automated grasping systems, demonstrating a lasting impact on both educational practice and applied robotics.
