Neerendra Kumar

About

Neerendra Kumar is a prominent researcher specializing in robotics, autonomous navigation, and the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT), whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, IoT, and intelligent systems. With a career spanning nearly a decade of influential publications, Kumar has made significant contributions to both the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of robotic technologies. His early research established a strong foundation in robot navigation, developing innovative MATLAB-Simulink models that integrate fuzzy logic controllers and pure pursuit algorithms to enable collision-free movement in unknown and dynamic environments. His work on probabilistic roadmaps and heuristic path planning, including A* algorithm implementations, further advanced autonomous navigation capabilities. More recently, Kumar has emerged as a leading voice in the rapidly growing IoRT domain, authoring widely cited works exploring its challenges, applications across healthcare, manufacturing, and transport, and critical data exchange techniques — papers that have collectively garnered over 60 citations since 2022 alone. His 2025 systematic review on robotic cybersecurity vulnerabilities underscores his commitment to addressing emerging security challenges in intelligent systems. With over 150 cumulative citations, Kumar's interdisciplinary research continues to shape how robotic systems are designed, navigated, and secured in an increasingly connected world.
