About
Hannah Kastein’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, distributed control, and networked systems, with a focus on enabling cooperative multi-robot behaviors across geographically distant platforms. Her most-cited work, “Robot swarming over the Internet” (2012, 6 citations), tackles the challenge of coordinating robot swarms when team members are separated by time zones and communicate over the inherently unreliable internet. In this study, Kastein demonstrated how robots on two remote testbeds could maintain formation and follow a designated leader while avoiding collisions—a foundational step toward scalable, real-world swarm deployment. Though early in her citation trajectory, this contribution is notable for its practical approach to internet-based control, a problem critical for global robotic collaboration. Kastein’s work has helped lay groundwork for resilient, decentralized coordination in multi-agent systems, and her insights continue to inform researchers exploring teleoperation and swarm robotics in bandwidth-constrained environments. Her achievements reflect a commitment to bridging theory and experimental validation, making her a promising voice in the future of networked robotic systems.
