About
Thiviyathinesvaran Palani is a rising researcher in the field of multi-robot systems and autonomous navigation, with a focus on decentralized control and safety guarantees. His work centers on enabling swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground robots to navigate complex environments while preserving network connectivity and avoiding collisions—all without relying on explicit inter-robot communication. Palani’s major contributions include the development of novel control barrier function (CBF)-based methods that allow leader-follower formations to maintain cohesion and avoid moving obstacles in real time. His 2023 paper on decentralized UAV swarm navigation, which has already garnered 7 citations, demonstrates a practical solution to a critical challenge in swarm robotics. In 2024, he advanced the field further with a collision avoidance method using collision cones and CBF constraints, eliminating the need for numerical optimization. His most recent work (2025) extends these ideas to environments with moving obstacles, showcasing his ongoing impact. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory of innovation, Palani is establishing himself as a key contributor to safe, scalable multi-robot coordination.
