About
Dolendra Karki is a researcher at the forefront of integrating robotics and optical fiber sensing for critical infrastructure monitoring. His work focuses on developing novel deployment tools and sensing methodologies that enable real-time, distributed monitoring of pipelines and other large-scale systems. Karki’s major contribution is the creation of a robotic fiber optic internal deployment tool, which allows for the precise and autonomous installation of sensing fibers within pipelines—a key innovation for detecting corrosion, strain, temperature changes, and acoustic events. This technology addresses a long-standing challenge in pipeline integrity management by enabling continuous, spatially resolved monitoring without service disruption. His most-cited paper, “Robotic fiber optic internal deployment tool for pipeline integrity monitoring” (2022), has garnered 4 citations and lays the groundwork for a new class of smart infrastructure solutions. By combining robotics with advanced fiber optic sensing, Karki is helping to shift pipeline maintenance from reactive repairs to proactive, data-driven preservation, with significant implications for safety, cost reduction, and environmental protection.
