About

M. Gokul is a researcher whose work bridges practical engineering and societal needs, with a primary focus on robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) for automation. His most impactful contribution is the design of a robotic arm for a coconut-tree climbing robot (2015, 13 citations), a project that directly addresses the daily needs of communities in southern India, where coconut is a staple. This work highlights his commitment to developing low-cost, culturally relevant automation solutions. More recently, Gokul has advanced into smart waste management with his paper on an "Automatic Garbage Collector using Sensors and Internet of Things" (2025). This system integrates a line-follower robot, ESP32 microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors, and servo motors with electromagnets to autonomously detect, gather, and transport trash, reducing the need for human intervention. While his citation counts are still growing, Gokul’s work demonstrates a clear trajectory toward impactful, application-driven research that solves everyday problems—from agriculture to urban sanitation—making him a promising voice in the field of practical robotics and IoT.
