About

Praveen Kumar Muthusamy is a leading researcher in the field of robotic control systems, with a primary focus on cooperative manipulation, aerial robotics, and intelligent control architectures. His work addresses critical challenges in enabling robots to work alongside humans and each other safely and efficiently. A major contribution is his investigation of impedance-based control approaches for cooperative manipulation, providing foundational insights for robotic assistance in industrial and domestic tasks. He has also pioneered the Bidirectional Fuzzy Brain Emotional Learning (BFBEL) control system, a novel bio-inspired controller that merges emotional and logical processing for aerial robot control. More recently, Dr. Muthusamy has advanced the field of multi-robot coordination with strictly decentralized approaches for grasp coordination, tackling the complex problem of multiple robots collaboratively handling large objects. His work on intelligent fuzzy neural network control for variable stiffness actuators is crucial for improving safety in physical human-robot interactions. With a growing body of highly cited work accumulating over 29 citations, Dr. Muthusamy’s research is shaping the future of safe, intelligent, and cooperative robotic systems.
