About
K. P. Jayalakshmi is a leading researcher in mobile robotics, with a primary focus on Coverage Path Planning (CPP) for autonomous systems operating in dynamic and unknown environments. Her work addresses the critical challenge of enabling robots to efficiently and thoroughly navigate spaces while avoiding both stationary and moving obstacles. Jayalakshmi’s major contributions include the development of the Dynamic Spanning Tree Coverage (D-STC) algorithm, a novel approach that leverages depth-first search to adapt path planning in real-time. She has also pioneered decentralized, multi-robot frameworks like MRSimEx-DSTC, which integrate frontier-based exploration with adaptive coverage to allow teams of robots to collaboratively map and cover complex areas. Her most cited work, a comprehensive 2025 survey on CPP, has already garnered 16 citations, underscoring its importance as a foundational resource for the field. With her innovative algorithms and frameworks, Jayalakshmi is advancing the practical deployment of robots in applications ranging from automated cleaning to search-and-rescue missions, solidifying her reputation as a key contributor to modern robotics.
