About

Chandraprakash Sharma is a leading researcher in assistive robotics, with a primary focus on developing intelligent, user-centered robotic systems to support the elderly and enhance daily life. His most impactful work centers on autonomous wheelchair robots, where he pioneered the integration of social behaviors—such as context-aware speaking and personalized speed adjustment—to improve user acceptance and reduce caregiver burden. His 2015 study on this topic has garnered 51 citations, underscoring its influence in human-robot interaction. Sharma also made foundational contributions to cloud robotics through the UNR-PF platform (19 citations), an open-source framework enabling multi-location, networked robotic services. His long-term deployment research, exemplified by the shopping mall robot "Neel" (8 citations), demonstrates his commitment to real-world, ecosystem-based robotics. By blending technical innovation with deep empathy for aging populations, Sharma’s work has shaped how robots can provide seamless, ability-adapted support. His achievements highlight a career dedicated to making assistive technology both practical and socially integrated.
