About

Dr. B.K. Swathi Prasad is a robotics engineer specializing in the design, control, and application of intelligent robotic systems, with a focus on surveillance, mobile navigation, and surgical technologies. Her most cited work, “Design and Development of Spherical Spy Robot for Surveillance Operation” (2020, 21 citations), addresses critical constraints in existing robots—such as computational speed, cost, and structural complexity—by proposing a novel spherical platform optimized for stealth and efficiency in surveillance and search-and-rescue missions. In her 2016 study on trajectory tracking for mobile robots (6 citations), Dr. Prasad developed a novel control strategy that minimizes tracking error, solving the challenging problem of precise orientation along arbitrary paths for two-wheel drive robots. Her research also extends to medical robotics; in “Modelling and Intelligent Control of Micro PMBLDC for Surgical Robotic Applications” (2020, 4 citations), she improved the speed characteristics of micro permanent magnet brushless DC motors for use in minimally invasive surgical tools, emphasizing lightweight, reliable, and compact designs. Through these contributions, Dr. Prasad demonstrates a commitment to advancing practical, cost-effective robotics for real-world operations, from battlefield surveillance to operating rooms.
