About

Dipti Srinivasan is a leading researcher in autonomous robotics, specializing in multi-agent architectures for unmanned aerial and ground vehicles (UAVs and UGVs). Her work focuses on enabling seamless interoperability between diverse robotic platforms, allowing them to collaborate effectively in complex, real-world missions such as patrolling, surveillance, and search and rescue. A key contribution is the development of a novel multi-agent framework that decouples mission-specific algorithms from platform-specific hardware, significantly enhancing robot autonomy and adaptability. Her research also advances real-time path generation and path-following techniques, including vector-directed approaches that ensure robust navigation in dynamic environments. Additionally, she has explored the use of optical flow vectors for estimating time-to-contact obstacles, contributing to safer autonomous navigation. With her most cited paper garnering 27 citations, Srinivasan’s work is foundational for the next generation of autonomous systems, where heterogeneous robots must operate as a cohesive team. Her achievements underscore her impact on both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations in multi-robot systems.
