About

Tushar Semwal is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and cyber-physical systems, with a particular focus on bio-inspired and decentralized approaches. His most cited work, "Tartarus" (2015, 23 citations), explores the integration of heterogeneous embedded devices within the pervasive Internet, arguing for their active utilization rather than passive existence. Semwal has made significant contributions to public engagement with robotics and AI, as evidenced by his "Robots in the Danger Zone" papers (2020, 15 and 5 citations), which investigate and address public perceptions and misconceptions about these technologies. His research also advances decentralized problem-solving in cyber-physical systems, exemplified by his work on an Artificial Immune System for solution selection (2019, 14 citations). Semwal has developed innovative algorithms for swarm robotics, including a distributed epigenetic shape formation and regeneration algorithm (2018), and a multimodal human sensing system for assisted living (2020). His work on immuno-inspired distributed action-evolution algorithms (2018) further demonstrates his commitment to nature-inspired computing. With a research portfolio spanning public engagement, decentralized intelligence, and bio-inspired robotics, Semwal's work continues to influence how autonomous systems interact with humans and their environments.
