About

Dr. B Pooja Kumari is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on developing intelligent systems for healthcare and pandemic response. Her most impactful contribution is the design of a tele-presence robot for medical assistance in hospitals, detailed in her 2021 paper which has garnered 9 citations. This robot was specifically engineered to support COVID-19 patients by enabling remote monitoring of body temperature, delivering medicines as per doctor’s instructions, and autonomously disinfecting floors and beds in isolation wards—all without direct human contact. By integrating visual interaction with autonomous task execution, Dr. Kumari’s work addresses critical challenges in infection control and caregiver safety during health crises. Her research sits at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and public health, demonstrating how engineering solutions can directly mitigate pandemic risks. This notable achievement highlights her ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical, life-saving applications, making her a promising voice in the field of medical robotics and telepresence technology.
