About
Ruchik Mishra is a robotics researcher whose work spans autonomous service robotics, social human-robot interaction (HRI), and robot-assisted therapy for neurodevelopmental conditions. His foundational contribution — a ROS-based service robot platform (2018, 59 citations) — demonstrated how affordable autonomous systems capable of mapping, localization, and navigation could substitute human roles in service environments, establishing him as an early contributor to accessible robotics design. He further advanced mobile robotics through sensor fusion-based indoor navigation and an ego-centric framework for omni-drive telepresence robots, addressing the social intelligence demands of robots operating in human spaces. More recently, Mishra has pivoted toward socially assistive robotics, with a particular focus on children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). His work integrates deep learning, Large Language Models, and engagement forecasting to enable personalized, adaptive robotic therapy — moving the field beyond rigid pre-scripted interactions. Complementing this, his research on speech emotion recognition using Vision Transformers and physiological responses to social robots reflects a commitment to affective, human-centered HRI. Collectively accumulating nearly 95 citations, Mishra's trajectory reveals a researcher steadily bridging autonomous robotics with meaningful clinical and social applications.
