About

Geetika Sharma is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, automation, and retail technology, with a focus on reducing human effort in inventory management. Her most cited work, "Remote retail monitoring and stock assessment using mobile robots" (2014, 18 citations), introduces a Virtual Reality (VR)-based system that enables remote, automated surveying of retail shelves using mobile robots. This innovation directly addresses the high manpower costs and infrequent monitoring that lead to stock discrepancies and lost sales. By combining VR interfaces with robotic navigation, Sharma’s system allows store managers to assess inventory without physical presence, improving efficiency and accuracy. Her contributions are particularly valuable in the context of smart retail and Industry 4.0, where automation and data-driven decision-making are critical. With 18 citations, this paper has laid groundwork for further research in robotic retail monitoring, influencing both academic studies and practical applications in supply chain management. Sharma’s work exemplifies how robotics and VR can transform traditional labor-intensive tasks, offering scalable solutions for modern retail environments.
