About

Priyankari Perali is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics, autonomous systems, and disaster response. Her work centers on two key areas: visibility-based planning for multi-agent systems and the development of large-scale benchmark datasets for aerial robotics. In her pioneering 2023 paper, "A Visibility-Based Escort Problem," Perali introduced and solved a novel escort planning problem, extending the classic family of visibility-based pursuit-evasion challenges. This work, which has already garnered 4 citations, proposes a framework where an escort agent must protect a vulnerable VIP in a 2D environment, offering foundational insights for security and surveillance applications. Building on her expertise in aerial robotics, Perali co-authored the 2024 paper "CRASAR-U-DROIDs," which presents a large-scale benchmark dataset for building alignment and damage assessment using georectified sUAS imagery. With 2 citations to date, this dataset is a critical resource for advancing automated disaster response, enabling more accurate and rapid damage evaluation from drone footage. Perali’s contributions are notable for bridging theoretical robotics with practical, life-saving applications, making her a promising voice in the field.
