About
Nayan Banik is a rising researcher in assistive and field robotics, with a focus on enhancing human mobility and independence through intelligent mechatronic systems. His work centers on the design and control of robotic platforms for medical and rehabilitation applications, particularly wheelchair-mounted robotic arms (WMRAs) and mobile robots with specialized drivetrains. Banik’s major contributions include a systematic review of WMRA technical designs and their impact on activities of daily living (ADLs), which has helped define the state of the art for assistive devices aimed at individuals with upper- and lower-limb disabilities. He also developed a finite-time pure pursuit guidance controller for four Mecanum wheeled mobile robots, integrating active disturbance rejection to achieve robust trajectory tracking in time-sensitive environments—a critical advance for autonomous mobility aids. His work on identifying workspaces for essential ADLs further bridges robotic capability with real-world user needs. With several papers published in 2023–2025, Banik’s research is already garnering citations, reflecting its relevance to the growing field of assistive robotics. His contributions are laying the groundwork for more responsive, user-centered robotic systems that can improve quality of life for people with disabilities.
