Research Interests:

Current Work:

My current responsibilities include guiding students on various research projects, research/development projects with other R&D organizations, research/development proposal  writing and teaching. A list of various projects that i have guided students and the publications arising thereof can be seen at: http://research.iiit.ac.in/~viswanath/robotics/

Essentially these are the outcome of the robotics research center which i guide and direct.

A complete list of my publications can be seen/accessed from here.

In short we have been in the business of all aspects of mobile and multi robotic systems: localization, mapping, exploration, planning, kinematics and SLAM. Our contributions include optimal target tracking in multi sensor systems, active localization for multiple robots, extension of Reeds and Shepp Paths for robots with front and rear steer and development of low cost micro robotic prototypes for single and swarm robotic applications among others.

We are also into systems development. These include an integrated mobile robotic navigation system for CAIR, Bangalore and development of a low cost micro robotic testbed for single and multi robotic applications
