About

R. Usha is a researcher specializing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless communication protocols, and the integration of artificial intelligence with autonomous robotic systems. Her work focuses on optimizing network performance for critical applications, particularly in military and unmanned mission contexts. Her most-cited paper, "Performance analysis of MANET routing protocols for military applications" (2017), has garnered 7 citations and examines how multiple robots can collaborate under deadline constraints to achieve mission success through effective communication links. In her related study, "Network performance analysis of MANET routing protocols with various mobility models" (2017, 3 citations), she explores how different mobility patterns affect network efficiency in automated frameworks. Usha’s research bridges the gap between theoretical network design and practical deployment in high-stakes environments, demonstrating that versatile robots can outperform solitary units in complex tasks. Her contributions are particularly relevant as artificial intelligence and wireless sensor networks converge to enable autonomous systems for defense and emergency response. By analyzing routing protocols under realistic mobility conditions, Usha provides foundational insights for engineers developing resilient communication networks for next-generation robotic missions.
