About

Partha Pratim Ray is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics, best known for coining and defining the "Internet of Robotic Things" (IoRT). His seminal 2016 paper on the subject, which has garnered over 250 citations, established a foundational framework for integrating IoT connectivity with robotic control and monitoring systems. Ray’s work extends into futuristic domains, including necrobotics—a concept he introduced in 2023 that explores the use of biological materials in robotic systems. He has also developed practical IoT-based applications, such as the IoRCar platform for autonomous robotic movement and web-based mobile robot control systems, demonstrating real-world implementation of his theories. More recently, Ray has ventured into the application of large language models in medicine, particularly for laparoscopic surgery, highlighting his ability to bridge cutting-edge AI with healthcare. His research consistently pushes the boundaries of how connected devices can enable intelligent, autonomous, and human-interactive robotic systems, making him a key voice in shaping the future of cyber-physical systems and smart robotics.
