About

Shweta A. Jagtap is a robotics researcher whose work lies at the intersection of swarm intelligence and real-world healthcare applications. Her most-cited paper, "Swarm Robotics for Ultra-Violet Sterilization Robot" (2022, 8 citations), introduces a novel multi-robot system designed to tackle complex disinfection tasks. By leveraging the principles of swarm robotics—where multiple autonomous robots coordinate without centralized control—Jagtap addresses the limitations of conventional sterilization methods, particularly in large or hazardous environments. This work demonstrates how decentralized, cooperative robot teams can efficiently navigate and sanitize spaces, offering a scalable solution for infection control. Beyond this flagship study, Jagtap’s research explores the broader potential of swarm robotics to solve problems that are too intricate for single-robot systems, emphasizing organization, adaptability, and robustness. Her contributions are especially timely in a post-pandemic world, where automated, reliable sterilization is critical. With a growing citation record, Jagtap is establishing herself as a key voice in applied swarm robotics, bridging theoretical multi-agent coordination with practical, life-saving technology.
