About

Om Krishna Gupta is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on intelligent navigation, assistive technologies, and vision-based systems for autonomous mobile robots. His key contributions span three critical areas: robust localization, optimal path planning in dynamic environments, and human-centered robotic assistance. Gupta’s most cited work, “Robust pose estimation and tracking system for a mobile robot using a panoramic camera” (2010, 8 citations), presents a fast, effective method for indoor robot localization using only an overhead panoramic vision system—a significant advance for cluttered environments. His 2008 paper on “Optimal Global Path Planning in Time Varying Environments” (8 citations) introduces a cost evaluation function that enables robots to navigate efficiently in changing spaces. Notably, Gupta also pioneered simulation platforms using virtual worlds for vision and robotic systems (2009, 4 citations), and developed an intelligent robotic assistive living system (2009, 3 citations) designed to enhance independence for elderly and disabled individuals by automating daily tasks. This assistive work demonstrates his commitment to socially impactful robotics, bridging technical innovation with real-world care applications. With over 23 total citations, Gupta’s research continues to influence both autonomous navigation and human-robot interaction.
