About

Sara Moshtaghi Largani is a researcher advancing the field of robotic navigation and computational geometry, with a focus on the Orthogonal Watchman Route Problem (OWRP). Her work addresses a fundamental challenge in autonomous robotics: how to design the shortest possible path—or watchman route—that a robot must follow to ensure every point in a polygonal environment remains visible. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Minimizing Turns in Watchman Robot Navigation: Strategies and Solutions," she introduces novel strategies to reduce the number of turns in these routes, significantly improving efficiency for real-world applications like surveillance and exploration. Building on this, her paper "Securing Pathways with Orthogonal Robots" extends the concept to pathway protection, offering groundbreaking solutions for urban planning, transportation, and security. With a combined citation count of 16 across her top works, Largani’s contributions are gaining traction for their practical impact on minimizing robot energy consumption and navigation complexity. Her research not only solves theoretical puzzles in computational geometry but also provides actionable algorithms for deploying orthogonal robots in critical infrastructure, making her a rising voice in robotics and autonomous systems.
