About
Arpita Mukherjee is a robotics researcher focused on the critical challenge of underground infrastructure maintenance. Her work centers on the design, modeling, and experimental validation of robotic systems for pipeline inspection, addressing the high costs and inaccessibility of buried pipe networks for water, gas, and sewage. Mukherjee’s major contribution lies in developing novel mechanical solutions for in-pipe locomotion, most notably her scissor mechanism design for Pipeline Inspection Robots (PIR). This innovation, detailed in her 2019 paper, enables robots to adapt to varying pipe diameters and navigate complex bends. Her experimental work, including a 2021 study on a robotic inspection system’s performance, has garnered 8 citations, demonstrating practical validation of her designs. By combining rigorous design analysis with hands-on testing, Mukherjee is advancing the reliability and efficiency of automated pipe inspection, directly supporting the maintenance of essential urban infrastructure. Her research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking to understand the mechanical and operational challenges of field robotics in constrained environments.
