About

Biplap Kharel is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of embedded systems, mechatronics, and practical automation. His most cited paper, "Design of Robotic Snake with ESP 32 CAM and Arduino" (2021, 7 citations), exemplifies his focus on creating low-cost, accessible robotic platforms for challenging environments. In this work, Kharel developed a snake-like robot capable of serpentine locomotion, integrating an ESP32-CAM module for real-time video streaming and an Arduino for control. This design addresses critical needs in surveillance, maintenance, and search-and-rescue operations, particularly in narrow or hazardous passages where traditional wheeled or legged robots fail. By leveraging widely available microcontrollers and open-source tools, Kharel’s contribution lowers the barrier to entry for advanced robotics research, making it reproducible for students and hobbyists. His approach emphasizes practical, deployable solutions over theoretical complexity, bridging the gap between academic prototyping and real-world utility. With a growing citation footprint, Kharel’s work is gaining traction among engineers exploring bio-inspired robotics and telepresence. His research stands as a testament to how clever integration of off-the-shelf components can yield impactful, life-saving technologies.
