About
Vinayak R. Krishnamurthy is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of multi-robot manufacturing, computational geometry, and extended reality, with his work fundamentally advancing the field of cooperative 3D printing (C3DP). His most influential contribution, "LayerLock" (2022, 17 citations), introduced a groundbreaking layer-wise collision-free framework for multi-robot additive manufacturing using topologically interlocked space-filling shapes, establishing a new paradigm for scalable, concurrent fabrication. Building on this foundation, Krishnamurthy developed NoodlePrint, a generalized computational framework leveraging helically interlocked tiles inspired by novel geometric discoveries, and SafeZone*, a graph-based, time-optimal C3DP system rooted in swarm manufacturing principles. His "Traveling Cellsman" and "Print As a Dance Duet" works further demonstrate his commitment to solving the coordination and communication challenges inherent in multi-robot systems. Beyond manufacturing, Krishnamurthy has contributed to the extended reality community through editorial leadership in XR applications for design and manufacturing. Collectively accumulating over 30 citations across recent publications, his research addresses critical scalability limitations in 3D printing, positioning multi-robot cooperative fabrication as a viable pathway toward large-scale industrial additive manufacturing.
