About
Ananda Sankar Kundu is a researcher whose work bridges the critical domains of assistive robotics and autonomous mobile robot navigation. His primary research areas include omnidirectional robotic platforms, human-machine interfaces for rehabilitation, and sensor-based localization. Kundu's most significant contributions lie in developing multimodal control strategies for assistive devices, such as his holonomic wheelchair system that fuses EMG signals with joystick input (22 citations), and his work on myoelectrically controlled lower-limb exoskeletons and active ankle prostheses, which use muscle signals to regenerate natural gait patterns (15 and 6 citations). In mobile robotics, he pioneered a scanning camera and augmented reality-based localization system for omnidirectional robots (23 citations) and developed methods for generating 2D occupancy grid maps using 360° depth sensors (16 citations). His research demonstrates a consistent focus on enhancing mobility—whether for disabled individuals through intuitive, bio-signal-driven orthoses or for robots navigating complex indoor environments. With over 120 total citations across his most-cited works, Kundu’s interdisciplinary approach has made tangible impacts on both rehabilitation engineering and autonomous navigation.
