About
Prithviraj Dasgupta is a robotics and artificial intelligence researcher whose work spans cloud robotics, multi-robot systems, modular self-reconfigurable robots, and autonomous task allocation. His 2018 survey on cloud robotics architectures and applications has become a foundational reference in the field, accumulating over 140 citations and helping define the landscape of cloud-connected service robotics. Dasgupta has made significant contributions to multi-robot coordination, developing auction-based task allocation frameworks and distributed Voronoi partitioning techniques that enable robot teams to efficiently divide and conquer unknown environments — work that continues to influence swarm robotics research. His development of ModRED, a high-dexterity modular self-reconfigurable robot designed for extra-terrestrial exploration, demonstrates a compelling bridge between theoretical robotics and real-world space applications, earning 75 citations. Dasgupta has also ventured into medical robotics, contributing to the design of a self-steering pneumatic colonoscopy robot aimed at reducing patient discomfort. More recently, his research on informative path planning under communication constraints addresses critical challenges in deploying robot swarms in complex, real-world environments. With a cumulative citation record reflecting broad influence, Dasgupta stands as a versatile and impactful figure in modern robotics research.
