About

Mrinmoy Sarkar is a robotics and autonomous systems researcher whose work spans intelligent robot design, human-machine interaction, and multi-agent aerial systems. His research is particularly distinguished by its focus on practical, life-saving applications — notably in fire detection, search-and-rescue robotics, and surveillance systems designed for disaster scenarios such as earthquakes and structural collapses. Sarkar's most impactful contribution, a 2016 paper on autonomous fire-fighting robots employing multisensor detection and PID control, has garnered 55 citations, reflecting strong community interest in intelligent safety robotics. His pioneering work on Bangla voice-controlled robots — applying speech recognition algorithms tailored to a low-resource language for rescue operations in noisy environments — demonstrates a commendable commitment to accessible, localized human-robot interaction, earning 19 citations. He has further explored neural network-driven robotic grippers, Android-based human-computer interaction, stair-climbing rescue vehicles, and digital controller design for manipulator arms. More recently, Sarkar has extended his expertise toward multi-UAV systems, contributing a framework for evaluating operational performance of drone swarms. Across his career, his work reflects a consistent dedication to bridging robotics theory with real-world humanitarian and industrial challenges, making his research both technically rigorous and socially meaningful.
