About
Ajay Mahajan is a leading figure in robotics and sensor systems, with a career defined by pioneering work in ultrasonic 3D positioning and sustainable automation. His most influential contribution is a novel, closed-form linear algorithm for 3D position sensing using time-differences-of-flight, which elegantly eliminates the need for synchronization and estimates the speed of sound in real time—a foundational advancement cited over 130 times. This core innovation, along with his work on intelligent seam tracking for robotic welding and multisensor fusion using fuzzy logic, established his reputation in intelligent sensing. In recent years, Mahajan has applied his expertise to a critical global challenge: the robotic disassembly of electric vehicle battery modules for recycling. His 2022 paper on this topic has already garnered 91 citations, highlighting its impact on creating safe, automated solutions for the hazardous task of processing lithium-ion batteries. Beyond research, he is dedicated to engineering education, pioneering vertical integration in laboratory curricula through the Integrated Systems Engineering Laboratory. With over 475 total citations, Mahajan’s work bridges foundational sensor theory with pressing real-world applications in manufacturing and sustainability.
