About

Dr. Boris Kriheli is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, operations research, and safety engineering. His primary research areas include autonomous robot scheduling, search and rescue optimization, and the detection of hidden or failed components in complex systems. Dr. Kriheli’s most influential contribution is the development of a scheduling algorithm for an autonomous robot searching for hidden targets, a 2019 paper that has garnered 14 citations. This work addresses critical real-world challenges, such as locating lost individuals in high-rise building incidents or searching for hazardous materials. He further advanced the field with a 2020 study on optimal bi-criterion planning for rescue and evacuation operations during marine accidents, which has earned 13 citations. His earlier research on detecting failed components in repairable systems under imperfect inspections (2013, 7 citations) demonstrates a sustained focus on improving reliability and efficiency. Dr. Kriheli’s work is notable for its practical applications in emergency response and industrial maintenance, offering fast, iterative algorithms that balance multiple objectives. His contributions continue to inform the design of smarter, more autonomous systems for critical search and rescue missions.
