About
Arunim Bhattacharya is a researcher at the intersection of swarm robotics, human-robot interaction, and cognitive ergonomics, with a focus on environmental monitoring. His work addresses the challenge of enabling effective collaboration between humans and autonomous robot swarms in complex, unstructured aquatic environments. Bhattacharya’s major contributions include the design of a virtual reality testbed for direct human-swarm interaction, facilitating real-time monitoring of aquatic species. This system allows a human operator to guide a swarm of autonomous robots using a teleoperated unit, enhancing navigation and adaptive objective-setting in large-scale environments. His research has been cited over 9 times, reflecting its growing relevance in the field. Additionally, Bhattacharya has pioneered methods for measuring cognitive load during underwater object classification, developing reliable metrics to assess mental workload. This work supports cognitively responsive task allocation, improving efficiency and accuracy in field science experiments. By integrating VR, swarm intelligence, and cognitive measurement, Bhattacharya is advancing the practical deployment of human-swarm systems for environmental monitoring and scientific exploration.
