About
Pritesh Sankhe is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive robotics and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on leveraging accessible, off-the-shelf technology to empower individuals with disabilities. His most-cited paper, "A step towards a robotic system with smartphone working as its brain: An assistive technology" (2013, 6 citations), introduces a novel proof-of-concept robotic system that uses a smartphone as its central processing unit. This design is notable for its dual-input interface, which is sensitive to both tactile commands and head movements, enabling intuitive control for users with limited mobility. By demonstrating that a common smartphone can serve as the "brain" of a responsive assistive device, Sankhe’s work highlights a low-cost, scalable path toward greater independence for users. This contribution stands as a foundational step in making robotic assistance more practical and widely available, bridging the gap between advanced robotics and everyday technology.
