About
Sahil Gaonkar is a robotics researcher focused on advancing human-robot collaboration in dynamic, real-world environments—particularly retail and service settings. His work centers on teleoperation, shared control, and augmented reality (AR) interfaces for mobile manipulation systems. Gaonkar’s major contributions include the development of a teleoperated, omni-directional dual-arm mobile robot designed for retail store operations, which integrates shared control to balance human oversight with autonomous capabilities. This work, cited twice in its first year, addresses the challenge of deploying robots in unstructured retail spaces. He also introduced ATMAS, an assistive teleoperation method that combines AR markers with control switching to improve remote manipulation tasks. By enabling seamless transitions between operator and robot control, this system enhances efficiency and safety in convenience store environments. Gaonkar’s research bridges the gap between fully autonomous systems and direct human control, offering practical solutions for industries where adaptability is critical. His innovative use of AR for intuitive human-robot interaction marks a notable step toward more accessible and effective robotic assistance in everyday commercial settings.
