About

Rishita Shanker is an emerging researcher at the intersection of robotics, automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Her work focuses on developing accessible, cloud-integrated control systems for robotic platforms, with a particular emphasis on quadruped robots. In her most-cited paper, "Automated Quadruped Robot Simulation using Internet of Things and MATLAB" (2021, 3 citations), she presents a novel MATLAB Simulink model of a quadruped robot, paired with a remote monitoring and control interface built using Node-RED and the FRED Cloud Server. This contribution demonstrates how IoT fundamentals can be leveraged to create cost-effective, user-friendly robotic systems—an approach that holds promise for education, prototyping, and real-world deployment. While her citation count is still growing, Shanker's work represents a meaningful step toward bridging simulation and cloud-based control in robotics. Her research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in the practical integration of IoT with robotic locomotion, offering a blueprint for building and managing automated systems from anywhere. As the field of cloud-connected robotics expands, Shanker’s contributions position her as a thoughtful early-career voice in this dynamic space.
