About
Prithu Pareek’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, multi-robot systems, and inclusive design, with a focus on how robots can navigate and participate in complex social environments. In his highly cited work “Group Formation in Multi-Robot Human Interaction During Service Scenarios,” Pareek investigates the nuanced challenge of a mobile robot joining an ongoing interaction between a person and a stationary robot. He developed three distinct strategies—Circular, Line, and Improper—and built an interactive system to test them, offering foundational insights into socially-aware robot behavior. This paper has garnered 6 citations, reflecting its early impact in a rapidly growing field. In a second notable study, “Robot Trajectories When Approaching a User with a Visual Impairment,” Pareek addresses a critical gap in accessibility: while mobile robots can guide users, most systems assume the user can visually locate the robot. His work proposes trajectory designs that accommodate users with visual impairments, advancing inclusive human-robot interaction. Through these contributions, Pareek is shaping how robots perceive and respond to human social cues, with implications for service robots, assistive technologies, and accessible design.
