About

Pranab Kumar Dutta is a researcher whose work bridges sensor technology and environmental robotics, with a focus on developing practical, low-cost solutions for real-world challenges. His primary research areas include linearizing digital interfaces for angle sensors and automated systems for water surface cleaning. Dutta’s major contributions lie in simplifying the linearization of non-linear sensor outputs, such as those from shaft angle sensors with sine-cosine characteristics and Tunneling Magneto-Resistance (TMR) angle sensors. His 2020 paper, "An Improved Linearizing Digital Interface for Shaft Angle Sensors with Sine–Cosine Characteristic," proposes an efficient ratiometric linearization scheme using an enhanced dual-slope-based circuit, which has garnered 8 citations. Similarly, his 2019 work on a simplified linearizer for TMR angle sensors (3 citations) demonstrates his commitment to making sensor technology more accessible. Beyond sensors, Dutta’s 2022 paper on an automated surface water cleaning robot (7 citations) addresses environmental sustainability by designing a robot to collect waste from ponds and reservoirs. With a total of 18 citations across his most-cited works, Dutta’s research showcases a blend of precision engineering and environmental stewardship, making his work valuable for students and researchers interested in sensor design, automation, and eco-friendly robotics.
