C. V. Jawahar

About

C. V. Jawahar is a leading researcher in robotics and computer vision, with a focus on visual servoing, autonomous navigation, and robotic manipulation in cluttered environments. His work has significantly advanced the integration of vision-based control and perception for mobile and manipulator robots. Among his most impactful contributions is the development of hybrid visual servoing algorithms, such as the 2D/3D hybrid objective function and a boosted IBVS-PBVS framework, which improve robot arm positioning accuracy and robustness. He also pioneered autonomous image-based exploration for mobile robot navigation, enabling robots to map and navigate unknown environments using visual cues alone. In the domain of perception, Jawahar has made key advances in motion segmentation and moving object detection from monocular cameras, critical for SLAM and collision avoidance in dynamic worlds. His research on learning support orders for manipulation in clutter has addressed the challenge of interacting with objects while avoiding collisions or damage. With over 287 citations across his top-cited works, including papers from 2007 to 2016, Jawahar’s contributions have shaped modern robotic vision, earning him recognition for bridging theoretical algorithms with practical, real-time applications.
