About
M. Nithya is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work spans quadrotor control, swarm robotics, human-robot interaction, and computer vision-based automation. With a career trajectory spanning over a decade, she has made meaningful contributions to both simulation frameworks and real-world robotic deployments. Her most cited work, a 2019 paper on a Gazebo-ROS-Simulink framework for controlling the Crazyflie 2.0 quadrotor (39 citations), established a practical simulation pipeline that has become a valuable reference for UAV control researchers worldwide. Her earlier investigations into swarm robotics, including master-slave multi-robot coordination (21 citations) and fault-tolerant decentralized algorithms for disaster scenarios, demonstrate a sustained commitment to robust, scalable multi-robot systems. More recently, Nithya has expanded her focus toward intelligent embedded systems, developing a Raspberry Pi and Coral Accelerator-powered personal assistant robot and computer vision-enabled solutions for warehouse automation and smart surveillance. Her exploration of agricultural robotics — including a solar-powered rover for precision pesticide spraying — reflects a growing interest in socially impactful applications. Collectively accumulating nearly 100 citations, her diverse yet cohesive body of work makes her a notable contributor to applied robotics research.
