About
Prachi Pratyusha Sahoo’s research bridges robotics, human-robot interaction, and motion capture, with a focus on safety and precision in shared workspaces. Her most-cited work, “Comparison of single-kinect and dual-kinect motion capture of upper-body joint tracking” (2017, 7 citations), advances low-cost motion capture for applications like traffic control and aircraft marshaling, demonstrating how dual-sensor setups improve tracking accuracy—a critical insight for robotic systems that must interpret human gestures. In “Effects of Input Shaping on Impact Loads During Collisions Involving Flexible Robots” (2018, 6 citations), she tackles a pressing safety challenge: reducing collision forces in collaborative robots designed to work alongside humans. By showing that input shaping can mitigate impact loads, her work contributes to the design of safer, softer robots for industrial and domestic environments. Though early in her career, Sahoo’s research has already informed discussions on affordable motion tracking and collision mitigation, earning recognition for its practical implications. Her studies underscore a commitment to making robots more adaptable and less hazardous, positioning her as a rising voice in human-centered robotics.
