I build co-simulation frameworks that capture the cyber-physical systems aspects of multi-robot networks — from networked robot middleware to Industry 4.0 warehouse automation. My PhD at RBCCPS, IISc was co-advised by Prof Bharadwaj Amrutur and Prof Yogesh Simmhan, and I continue to collaborate with the Autonomous Machines Lab on collaborative robotics, learning-based robots, and network-enabled multi-robot systems.
