About

Dr. T. K. Sunil Kumar is a robotics researcher specializing in mobile robot control, trajectory tracking, and autonomous navigation. His work focuses on developing intelligent control systems for wheeled mobile robots, including nonholonomic and omnidirectional platforms, with applications in healthcare, industry, and service sectors. Dr. Kumar’s most cited paper (2017, 9 citations) introduces a GA-tuned PID controller for trajectory tracking of wheeled mobile robots, achieving desired interaction and time-domain specifications. He also contributed to omnidirectional robot control using system identification techniques (2019, 8 citations) and developed a novel pick-and-place robot that leverages the center of gravity of moving objects (2017, 8 citations). His earlier work on 3D spatial mapping using Kinect sensors (2015) explores point cloud registration for indoor environment reconstruction. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Kumar’s research bridges control theory and practical robotics, advancing autonomous systems for real-world deployment.
