About
Ahmad Bilal Asghar is a roboticist focused on the fundamental challenges of multi-robot coordination, persistent monitoring, and autonomous coverage in complex, energy-constrained environments. His work bridges the critical gap between theoretical planning guarantees and practical deployment constraints, particularly for teams of heterogeneous aerial and ground vehicles. Asghar’s research has produced notable contributions to coverage path planning, including the development of algorithms that enable an energy-constrained UAV to be recharged by a mobile UGV during mission execution. He has also advanced the field of persistent monitoring by proposing novel strategies to minimize both system latency and the number of robots required, all while respecting strict battery limitations. His work on distributed coverage control provides rigorous guarantees for nonconvex environments, a significant step beyond traditional convex assumptions. With several papers accumulating over a dozen citations each, including his 2024 work on coverage planning and his 2019 study on time-optimal multi-robot reward collection, Asghar’s research is gaining recognition for its practical relevance to surveillance, search-and-rescue, and environmental monitoring missions.
