About

Sanjay Misra’s research navigates the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and their societal implications, with a focus on automation’s impact on labor and human-machine interaction. His most cited work, “A Critical Review of the Politics of Artificial Intelligent Machines, Alienation and the Existential Risk Threat to America’s Labour Force” (2018, 15 citations), offers a provocative analysis of how AI-driven automation may exacerbate worker alienation and pose existential risks to employment structures, blending technical critique with political theory. In robotics, Misra advances practical applications, such as his 2021 study on unmanned vehicle models using Markov decision processes for pipeline inspection (8 citations), and his comparative analysis of obstacle detection algorithms for compact differential drive robots (2019, 4 citations). He also champions educational innovation, as seen in his 2018 work on collaborative robotics to engage students (2 citations). While his citation counts reflect emerging impact, Misra’s contributions stand out for bridging critical sociotechnical analysis with hands-on robotics research, offering a dual lens that is rare in the field. His work challenges researchers to consider both the engineering and human dimensions of autonomous systems.
