About

A. Manikandan is a researcher focused on advancing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and assistive technologies. His key contributions lie in energy optimization and routing protocols for WSNs, where he developed a score-based link delay aware routing protocol that significantly improves energy efficiency—a critical design challenge for applications ranging from environmental monitoring to smart spaces and medical systems. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 50 citations, underscoring its relevance in addressing collision and energy consumption issues in sensor networks. In addition, Manikandan has contributed to assistive robotics through his 2014 design of a micro-controller-based intelligent wheelchair, which employs obstacle detection and control systems to enhance mobility for physically challenged individuals. This project, cited 7 times, demonstrates his commitment to applying intelligent systems for real-world impact. His research bridges theoretical protocol design with practical, life-enhancing applications, making him a notable figure in both WSN optimization and human-centric technology development.
