About

Kiran Kumar Hegge is a rising figure in sustainable industrial automation, with research focused on developing cost-effective, multipurpose robotic systems for modern factories. His most cited work, "Wireless and Solar-Powered Multipurpose Robot for Industrial Automation: A Sustainable Solution" (2023, 39 citations), introduces a self-driving mobile robot that integrates solar power and wireless control to automate material handling and transportation tasks, directly addressing the growing demand for higher factory output while reducing human fatigue. Complementing this, his paper "Industrial Automated Multipurpose Robot Using WIFI" (2023, 33 citations) presents a low-cost, manually operated robot built around an ESP32 Node MCU microcontroller, capable of pick-and-place operations and floor cleaning via a phone application. Together, these contributions demonstrate Hegge’s commitment to democratizing automation through accessible, energy-efficient designs. By combining renewable energy with wireless connectivity, his work offers a sustainable blueprint for small and medium-scale industries seeking to boost productivity without prohibitive investment. With both key papers published in 2023 and already accumulating significant citations, Hegge is establishing himself as an innovative voice in the intersection of robotics, IoT, and green engineering.
