About

Pramod Kaushik is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, remote experimentation, and educational technology. His research focuses on the innovative application of consumer-grade mobile robots — most notably the iRobot Roomba Create platform — as accessible tools for remote laboratory environments. By leveraging advances in electronics and communication technologies, Kaushik has explored how real hardware experiments can be conducted over the Internet, opening new possibilities for distance learning and hands-on engineering education without physical presence in a lab. His most recognized contributions include "RoombaCreate® for Remote Laboratories" (2014, 5 citations) and "Customizing Household Mobile Robot for Remote Laboratories" (2014, 2 citations), both of which demonstrate how off-the-shelf robotic platforms can be adapted and customized to serve serious experimental and pedagogical purposes. This work addresses a growing need in higher education and research communities for affordable, scalable remote lab solutions. While still building in citation impact, Kaushik's research represents a thoughtful and practical approach to democratizing access to robotics experimentation — making laboratory experiences available to students and researchers regardless of geographic constraints, a contribution that carries increasing relevance in today's digitally connected world.
