About

Nikhil Vivek Shrivas is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of autonomous systems and public health, with key contributions in healthcare robotics and domestic automation. His most cited paper, “Applications of Healthcare Robots in Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic” (2021, 40 citations), provides a critical analysis of how robotic systems—from disinfection drones to telepresence units—were deployed to reduce human exposure to SARS-CoV-2, addressing challenges in clinical settings where social distancing was paramount. This work highlights his ability to identify practical, high-impact applications of robotics during global crises. More recently, his comprehensive review “Recent developments in autonomous floor-cleaning robots: a review” (2024, 11 citations) systematically surveys advances in domestic cleaning robots, covering vacuuming, mopping, and scrubbing technologies. By synthesizing trends in sensor integration, navigation algorithms, and energy efficiency, Shrivas offers valuable insights for both researchers and industry developers. His research demonstrates a clear trajectory from crisis-driven healthcare solutions to everyday automation, underscoring his versatility in applying robotic principles to real-world problems. With growing citation impact, Shrivas is establishing himself as a thoughtful voice in applied robotics.
