About

Karan Singh is a visionary researcher whose work sits at the intersection of computer graphics, robotics, and human-computer interaction. He is best known for pioneering contributions to augmented and virtual reality, particularly through his highly influential paper "Snake Charmer" (2016), which has garnered 168 citations. This work explores the creation of holographic displays that render stereoscopic scenes indistinguishable from reality, fundamentally advancing the vision of immersive head-mounted units. In computer graphics, Singh made a lasting impact with "Sketching piecewise clothoid curves" (2009, 116 citations), a foundational method for designing smooth, aesthetically pleasing curves that has become a staple in digital sketching and design tools. His research also extends to robotics, where he developed comprehensive path planning techniques for mobile robots with nonholonomic constraints using stereo vision and ROS-based implementations (2012). Additionally, Singh contributed to accessible robotics through the ATOM platform (2012), a low-cost mobile manipulator designed to democratize research and testing. His work bridges the gap between theoretical elegance and practical application, inspiring students and researchers to push the boundaries of what virtual and robotic systems can achieve.
