About

Kiran N Patil is a robotics and automation researcher whose work focuses on practical, real-world applications of autonomous systems. His key research areas include mobile robot navigation, wireless control systems, and renewable energy technologies. Patil made significant contributions to autonomous docking systems, developing a beacon-based approach that uses active infrared transmitters to guide mobile robots to precise docking locations with specific orientations—a critical capability for automated warehouses and manufacturing cells. His work on spy robots for military applications integrated Wi-Fi modules with Android control systems, creating a versatile platform for remote surveillance. Patil also addressed the practical challenge of maintaining solar panel efficiency, designing an easy-to-implement cleaning system to combat the power losses caused by dust and sand accumulation. While his citation counts (5, 4, and 2 respectively) reflect a developing research profile, his work demonstrates a consistent focus on bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and deployable solutions. Patil’s research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in low-cost automation, embedded systems, and the integration of robotics with everyday technologies like smartphones and solar power.
