About

Vishakha Bansal’s research lies at the intersection of autonomous systems and marine safety, with a primary focus on designing intelligent robotic platforms for search and rescue (SAR) operations. Her most-cited work, “A Comprehensive Review on Design of Autonomous Robotic Boat for Rescue Applications” (2021), has garnered 6 citations and stands as a foundational survey in this niche field. In this paper, Bansal systematically evaluates emerging autonomous technologies—from navigation algorithms to hull design—that enable unmanned boats to operate in hazardous marine environments, reducing human risk during emergencies. Her contribution is particularly significant for advancing the practical deployment of autonomous surface vehicles in time-critical rescue scenarios, where reliability and adaptability are paramount. By synthesizing state-of-the-art developments in sensor integration, control systems, and real-time decision-making, Bansal provides a roadmap for engineers and researchers aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical autonomy and real-world maritime SAR. Her work underscores a commitment to leveraging robotics for humanitarian impact, making her a notable voice in the growing field of autonomous marine systems.
