About

Yash Karwal is a researcher at the forefront of autonomous robotics and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, with a specialized focus on extending aerial endurance through intelligent ground infrastructure. His most-cited work, "Design of Autonomous Battery Swapping for UAVs" (2024, 6 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in drone technology: limited flight time. Karwal’s major contribution lies in the development of a complete Robotic Ground System (RGS) for autonomously replacing lithium-polymer batteries in small-scale UAVs. This system integrates three key sub-systems to not only enable extended flight operations but also prevent battery damage, significantly enhancing aerial safety. By tackling the practical challenges of automated battery swapping, Karwal’s research paves the way for persistent, uninterrupted drone missions in applications ranging from surveillance to delivery. His work stands out for its systems-level engineering approach, bridging the gap between ground robotics and aerial autonomy. With a growing citation impact, Yash Karwal is establishing himself as an emerging voice in the field of autonomous infrastructure, where his innovations promise to redefine the operational limits of modern UAVs.
