About

Mohan Karnik is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous navigation and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) design. His most-cited work, "Design and Autonomous Navigation of 4WD UGV" (2024), with 2 citations, focuses on Four Wheel Differential (4WD) systems, integrating sensors and navigation algorithms to enable robust, self-directed movement in complex terrains. Karnik’s contributions lie in advancing the mechanical and control systems of 4WD UGVs, addressing key challenges in sensor fusion and path planning for real-world deployment. His research has implications for applications in agriculture, disaster response, and exploration, where reliable autonomous mobility is critical. While early in his career, Karnik’s work demonstrates a clear commitment to bridging hardware design with intelligent navigation, offering foundational insights for future UGV innovations. His achievements include developing a comprehensive system architecture that balances power, maneuverability, and autonomy, setting a benchmark for 4WD platforms. As the field of autonomous robotics expands, Karnik’s research provides a practical blueprint for engineers and students seeking to design resilient, self-navigating vehicles.
