About
Tarun Kumar Bera is a robotics researcher whose work spans legged locomotion, parallel manipulators, and autonomous navigation. His research focuses on developing intelligent control strategies for mobile robots and exoskeletons, with particular emphasis on obstacle avoidance and human-robot interaction. Bera's most cited work, "Walking Model of Jansen Mechanism-Based Quadruped Robot and Application to Obstacle Avoidance" (31 citations), demonstrates his expertise in bio-inspired robotics. He has made significant contributions to force control in parallel manipulators through virtual foundations (17 citations), where his overwhelming controller provides robustness against uncertain parameters and disturbances. His recent work on real-time obstacle avoidance using machine learning and vision-based approaches (16 citations) showcases his integration of AI with robotics. Bera has also developed a linear actuator-based knee exoskeleton for stand-sit-stand motions (15 citations), addressing critical mobility challenges for people with knee disorders. His research portfolio includes bond graph modeling for bipedal robots, fault detection and reconfiguration in legged systems, and gesture-controlled mobile robots. With over 130 total citations across his publications, Bera continues to advance the fields of autonomous navigation, rehabilitation robotics, and intelligent control systems.
