About

Anuruddha Bhattacharjee is an emerging researcher at the forefront of small-scale robotics, specializing in magnetically actuated soft robots, reconfigurable modular systems, and untethered microrobotic platforms. His work spans milliscale and microscale engineering, with a particular focus on designing robots capable of operating in complex fluid environments and confined geometries with potential biomedical applications. Bhattacharjee's most influential contribution — his 2021 work on magnetically controlled modular cubes (33 citations) — demonstrated how scalable subunits with embedded permanent magnets can actively self-assemble and disassemble on command, opening new possibilities for mesoscale manufacturing. Complementing this, his closed-loop control framework for 2D self-assembly and magnetically programmable cuboids further advanced the field of reconfigurable robotics. His bacteria-inspired rod-like soft robots and soft millirobots showcase his versatility in bio-inspired design and PDMS-based fabrication techniques. Notably, his work on alginate microsnowman robots and adaptive backstepping controllers highlights his integration of advanced control theory with soft matter systems. More recently, his research on magnetic capsule endoscopes addresses real-world clinical challenges, reflecting a clear trajectory toward translatable medical robotics. With over 95 cumulative citations, Bhattacharjee represents a dynamic voice in the next generation of small-scale robotics research.
