About
Shreya Santra is an emerging robotics researcher whose work sits at the frontier of space exploration technology, with a particular focus on lunar and planetary robotics. Her research spans rover locomotion, autonomous manipulation, multi-robot systems, and simulation environments tailored for extraterrestrial conditions. Santra's most-cited contribution, "Enabling Faster Locomotion of Planetary Rovers With a Mechanically-Hybrid Suspension" (2023, 16 citations), addresses the critical challenge of rapid, autonomous off-road navigation under the demanding constraints of lunar and Martian missions. Her development of OmniLRS (2024, 13 citations), a photorealistic lunar robotics simulator, has provided the research community with a vital evaluation platform as interest in lunar exploration surges globally. Beyond mobility, Santra has made meaningful strides in autonomous construction and assembly, contributing to modular robot design through MoonBot (2025, 8 citations) and dual-arm solar panel assembly systems. Her work on vision-based grasping and slip detection further strengthens the pipeline for fully autonomous lunar habitation. With foundational contributions to multi-rover communication and connectivity planning, Santra's body of work collectively advances the vision of sustainable, robot-enabled presence on the Moon and beyond.
