About

Sarosh Patel is a robotics researcher whose work spans manipulator design, swarm robotics, evolutionary robotics, and intelligent navigation systems. Based at the University of Bridgeport's Interdisciplinary Robotics, Intelligent Sensing and Control (RISC) Laboratory, Patel has established himself as a prolific contributor to both theoretical foundations and practical implementations in robotics. His most influential work, "Manipulator Performance Measures - A Comprehensive Literature Survey" (2014), has garnered an impressive 256 citations, reflecting its value as a definitive reference for researchers studying robotic arm optimization. His 2018 survey on evolutionary modular robotics (99 citations) further demonstrates his strength in synthesizing complex, emerging fields. Patel has made notable practical contributions through the UB SWARM project, delivering hardware implementations of heterogeneous robot swarms complete with fault detection and power management capabilities. His research also bridges biological inspiration and robotics through neurobiologically based navigation systems and reinforcement learning frameworks built upon the Robot Operating System. More recently, his work on Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms signals a forward-looking interest in cloud-connected, service-oriented robotics. Across more than two decades of research, Patel has consistently advanced the design, coordination, and intelligence of autonomous robotic systems.
