About

Soumya Ranjan Samal is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, IoT, and sustainable agriculture. His work focuses on developing intelligent, automated systems that address real-world challenges, with a particular emphasis on integrating cyber-physical technologies for environmental monitoring and food production. His most impactful contribution is the design and development of an automatic robotic system for vertical hydroponic farming, which leverages IoT and big data analysis to optimize crop growth in controlled environments. This highly cited work (74 citations) demonstrates a practical, scalable solution for modern agriculture, reducing human intervention while improving efficiency. Samal also explores biomimetic robotics, as seen in his design of a robotic snake using ESP 32 CAM and Arduino. This project highlights his versatility in creating specialized robots for surveillance, maintenance, and rescue operations in narrow or hazardous spaces. By combining embedded systems, wireless communication, and mechanical design, Samal’s research offers tangible tools for automation and remote monitoring. His work is a valuable resource for students and engineers interested in the practical application of robotics and IoT to solve pressing societal problems, from food security to disaster response.
