About

Neeraj Bankey is a robotics researcher whose work centers on visual navigation and control systems for autonomous mobile robots. His primary contributions lie in the domain of visual homing—a biologically inspired approach that enables a robot to return to a previously visited location using only visual cues. In his most cited work, "Lyapunov based steering control for visual homing of a mobile robot" (2014), Bankey introduced a novel control strategy that leverages Lyapunov stability theory to guide a robot from an unknown position back to a predefined home location. By correlating panoramic images captured at the current and home positions, his method achieves robust, real-time navigation without relying on GPS or pre-mapped environments. This work, which has garnered 4 citations, demonstrates his ability to bridge theoretical control principles with practical robotic applications. Bankey’s research is particularly relevant for fields such as search-and-rescue, autonomous exploration, and agricultural robotics, where reliable visual navigation in unstructured environments is critical. His approach offers a computationally efficient and mathematically rigorous solution to a longstanding challenge in mobile robotics, making him a notable contributor to the advancement of vision-based autonomous systems.
