About

Sai Prasanth Krishnamoorthy is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and STEM education. His work focuses on making multi-robot systems and robot programming more accessible through intuitive, mobile, and visual interfaces. A key contribution is his pioneering approach to human-multi-robot interaction using mobile mixed reality, which leverages the visual and inertial sensing of everyday smartphones and tablets—moving beyond specialized, research-grade hardware to enable more natural and flexible control in unstructured environments. This work, published in 2017, has garnered 28 citations. Krishnamoorthy is also a leading figure in K-12 STEM education, where he has developed visual programming environments using Google’s Blockly to teach robot programming and core C programming concepts. His 2016 paper on using a robot-VPE interface to teach STEM has received 27 citations, while his foundational 2015 work on blocks-based visual environments for robot programming has been cited 12 times. By lowering the barrier to entry for both human-robot interaction and computational thinking, Krishnamoorthy’s research has significant implications for the future of accessible robotics and education.
