About

Hrishav Bakul Barua is an emerging researcher working at the intersection of social robotics, human-computer interaction, computer vision, and machine learning. His work focuses on enabling intelligent robotic systems to perceive, interpret, and engage naturally with humans in real-world settings. One of his most significant contributions lies in advancing telepresence robotics — developing human-like avatar robots capable of attending meetings, joining group discussions, and representing remote users with social awareness. His comprehensive overview of F-formation theory for social robot group perception has garnered 7 citations, reflecting growing interest in robots that can recognize and respectfully join human social interactions. Equally notable is his work on semi-supervised action recognition through the transformer-based ActNetFormer framework, also earning 7 citations, which addresses the challenge of learning from limited labeled video data. Barua has additionally explored edge-computing architectures for telepresence systems and the broader role of data science and machine learning in cloud environments. With a research portfolio spanning cognitive robotics, AI-driven perception, and distributed computing, Barua's contributions are carving out meaningful ground in making robots more socially intelligent and practically deployable in everyday human environments.
