About

Rimita Lahiri is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of brain-computer interfaces, gesture-driven control, and cloud-based robotic systems. Her research focuses on creating intuitive, accessible ways for humans to interact with robots—particularly in environments where direct human presence is dangerous or impossible. Lahiri’s most cited work, “Robotic link position control using brain computer interface” (2016, 4 citations), explores thought-controlled robotics as a lifeline for individuals with spinal cord injuries or neuronal disorders, offering an alternative communication and movement pathway. She extends this theme in “Gesture Driven Remote Robot Manoeuvre for Unstructured Environment” (2018, 3 citations), proposing a framework for navigating robots in hazardous settings using gestural commands. Her innovative use of fuzzy logic in “A novel approach to TSK model based gesture driven robot movement” (2017, 2 citations) demonstrates how gestures can effectively instruct a Khepera II robot. Additionally, Lahiri tackles system reliability in “A Distributed and Fault Tolerant Robotic Localisation and Mapping in Network Edge” (2017, 2 citations), addressing software robustness in cloud robotics. Though her citation counts are modest, Lahiri’s work is notable for its human-centered focus—bridging assistive technology, autonomous navigation, and distributed systems—making her a promising voice in accessible robotics.
