About

Anish Sebastian is a robotics and agricultural automation researcher whose work bridges precision engineering and real-world farming challenges. His primary research areas include autonomous navigation, agricultural robotics, and vehicle design optimization, with a focus on developing intelligent systems for crop disease management. Sebastian’s most cited work, “Autonomous Navigation of an Agricultural Robot Using RTK GPS and Pixhawk” (2020, 37 citations), details the design and implementation of a robot capable of autonomously navigating potato fields to locate and remove plants infected with Potato Virus Y (PVY). This system leverages real-time kinematic GPS for centimeter-level accuracy, enabling precise intervention that reduces crop loss and chemical use. In a complementary study, “Chassis Design and Analysis of an Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV) using Genetic Algorithm” (2020, 18 citations), he applies evolutionary optimization to create a rugged, four-wheeled chassis capable of withstanding the uneven terrain of commercial potato fields. Together, these contributions demonstrate Sebastian’s ability to integrate navigation, mechanical design, and agricultural science into deployable solutions. His work has been cited by researchers in precision agriculture, robotics, and sustainable farming, marking him as a rising innovator in field-deployable autonomous systems.
