Veena Mittal

About

Veena Mittal is a robotics and human-machine interaction researcher whose work centers on developing intelligent, accessible robotic systems controlled through intuitive multimodal interfaces. With a research portfolio accumulating over 110 citations, Mittal has made consistent contributions to the design and implementation of voice-controlled, gesture-driven, and smartphone-operated robotic platforms. Her most influential work, "A Voice-Controlled Personal Assistant Robot" (2015, 49 citations), demonstrated the practical viability of remotely commanding robotic assistants via mobile devices, significantly lowering barriers to everyday robotic utility. A recurring theme across her research is inclusivity — particularly in designing systems that empower physically handicapped individuals through hands-free control mechanisms. Her spy-robot and object-tracking studies further expanded the application landscape of wirelessly operated robots, exploring multi-modal control combining Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, tilt gestures, and speech recognition. Beyond robotics, Mittal has also extended her systems-oriented approach to environmental challenges, notably through her 2017 work on mobile pollution monitoring systems. Taken together, her body of work reflects a sustained commitment to making robotic technology more human-centered, versatile, and socially impactful.
