About
Gaurav Vikhe is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and high-performance computing, with a primary focus on benchmarking and optimizing robotic computing systems. His most notable contribution is the creation of **RobotPerf**, an open-source, vendor-agnostic benchmarking suite that systematically evaluates the performance of robotics workloads across diverse hardware platforms. By standardizing evaluations using ROS 2 as a common baseline, RobotPerf covers the entire robotics pipeline—from perception to control—enabling fair, reproducible comparisons of CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators. This work, already cited 16 times since its 2024 publication, has become a critical tool for both industry and academia, helping engineers select optimal hardware for autonomous systems. Vikhe’s research addresses a pressing need for transparent, scalable performance metrics in robotics, bridging the gap between software frameworks and heterogeneous computing architectures. His efforts are shaping how next-generation robotic systems are designed, making his work essential reading for students and researchers aiming to build efficient, real-world robotic platforms.
