About

Aneri Muni is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges the gap between aerial autonomy and agricultural technology. Her research centers on developing novel robotic platforms for indoor and constrained environments, with a particular focus on safe, long-endurance aerial systems and practical automation for animal husbandry. Muni’s most impactful contribution is the design and control of the Georgia Tech Miniature Autonomous Blimp (GT-MAB), a platform that addresses critical limitations of traditional quadrotors by offering extended flight times and safer human-robot interactions—a key advancement for indoor robotics testbeds. Her seminal paper on this work has garnered 59 citations, establishing a foundation for future blimp-based research. In a parallel effort, Muni applied her expertise to the agricultural sector with her work on *Robotics for Poultry House Management* (11 citations), where she tackled the labor-intensive task of daily poultry house monitoring. This research demonstrates her commitment to solving real-world problems, replacing inconsistent manual labor with automated, reliable robotic systems. Through these contributions, Muni has proven herself a versatile engineer, advancing both the theory of aerodynamic control for lighter-than-air vehicles and the practical deployment of robots in agriculture.
