About
Santosha Goudar is a robotics researcher specializing in the design and development of inspection systems for critical underground infrastructure. His primary research areas include mechanical design, mechanism analysis, and robotic systems for pipeline inspection and maintenance. Goudar’s major contributions center on the novel application of scissor mechanisms to create compact, adaptable robots capable of navigating complex underground pipe networks. His most cited work, "Design Analysis of Novel Scissor Mechanism for Pipeline Inspection Robot (PIR)" (2019, 5 citations), introduces an innovative approach to robot mobility and structural adaptability, addressing the high cost and difficulty of maintaining essential pipelines for water, gas, and sewage systems. This foundational study is complemented by his subsequent work, "Design and Modeling of Pipeline Inspection Robot (PIR) for Underground Pipelines" (2021, 3 citations), which further refines the robot’s design and modeling. Though his citation counts are modest, Goudar’s research is significant for its practical engineering focus and potential to reduce maintenance expenses in aging urban infrastructure. His work represents a meaningful step toward more efficient, automated solutions for pipeline inspection, a field with growing importance in civil and mechanical engineering.
