About
Rajasree Sarkar is a robotics researcher whose work bridges practical agricultural automation and cutting-edge bio-inspired underwater systems. Her most impactful contribution is the design and development of an autonomous coconut tree climbing and harvesting robot, detailed in her 2016 paper, which has garnered 30 citations. This work addresses a critical need in tropical agriculture by creating a low-cost, intelligent machine capable of navigating the complex kinematics of tree climbing, reducing human labor and safety risks in coconut harvesting. More recently, Sarkar has advanced the field of marine robotics through her research on bio-mimetic autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Her 2023 paper introduces a novel trajectory tracking control system using time-delayed estimation techniques, enabling these crewless vehicles to operate reliably in uncertain and dynamic underwater environments. This work is pivotal for applications in ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, and defense. With her research spanning from terrestrial agricultural robots to sophisticated underwater systems, Sarkar demonstrates a versatile approach to solving real-world challenges through robotics. Her work not only contributes to the growing body of knowledge in autonomous systems but also holds significant promise for practical deployment in both developing agricultural sectors and advanced marine technologies.
