About

Dr. B. Priyadharshini is a leading researcher in mobile robotics and autonomous navigation, with a focused expertise in trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance systems. Her most impactful work, the 2018 paper "Obstacle Avoidance and Navigation Planning of a Wheeled Mobile Robot using Amended Artificial Potential Field Method," has garnered 67 citations, establishing her as a key contributor to the field. In this seminal study, she introduced the Enhanced Artificial Potential Field (E-APF), a novel sampling-based algorithm that significantly improves how wheeled mobile robots generate collision-free trajectories toward their targets. By refining traditional potential field methods, Dr. Priyadharshini’s approach addresses critical limitations in local minima and path smoothness, enabling more reliable and efficient navigation in cluttered environments. Her contributions are particularly valuable for applications in industrial automation, service robotics, and autonomous vehicles, where safe and precise movement is paramount. Through her innovative work, Dr. Priyadharshini continues to advance the practical deployment of intelligent mobile systems, making her research essential reading for students and engineers developing next-generation robotic navigation solutions.
