About

Nayanika Biswas is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on developing autonomous systems for environmental monitoring, with a particular emphasis on coral reef conservation. Her key research areas include underwater robotics, navigation systems, and marine ecosystem monitoring technologies. Biswas made significant contributions through her work on the Coral Reef Monitoring Robot (C-bot), where she developed an advanced navigation system that addresses critical challenges in underwater positioning. Her 2021 paper on the C-bot's navigation system, which has garnered 3 citations, demonstrates her ability to tackle practical problems in marine robotics, specifically improving the accuracy of Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) positioning for long-term reef monitoring missions. This work offers a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional diver-based monitoring systems, enabling longer mission durations and more precise data collection. Biswas's research has direct implications for marine conservation efforts, as her navigation solutions help researchers better understand coral cover changes and ecosystem health over time. Her innovative approach to combining robotics with environmental science showcases the potential of autonomous systems in addressing pressing ecological challenges.
