About

Jagruti Sahoo is a leading researcher at the intersection of multi-robot systems and network virtualization, whose work addresses critical challenges in disaster response and wireless communication. Her most impactful contribution, "A coalition formation algorithm for Multi-Robot Task Allocation in large-scale natural disasters" (2017), has garnered 43 citations and tackles the pressing need for autonomous robotic teams in hazardous search and rescue operations. This work demonstrates how robots can effectively form coalitions to navigate high-risk environments where humans cannot safely operate. In parallel, Sahoo has made significant strides in network virtualization through her 2016 paper on "Network functions virtualization architecture for gateways for virtualized wireless sensor and actuator networks" (13 citations). This research addresses the complex challenge of enabling multiple applications to share wireless sensor and actuator networks in heterogeneous environments, proposing novel NFV-based solutions for on-the-fly, elastic gateway provisioning. Her work bridges the gap between physical robotic systems and virtualized network infrastructure, offering practical solutions for scalable, dynamic deployments in real-world scenarios. Sahoo's research continues to influence both the robotics and networking communities, providing foundational frameworks for autonomous systems operating in critical infrastructure and emergency response contexts.
