About

Dr. Durgesh Dattatray Darekar is a pioneering researcher in the field of aerial robotics and additive manufacturing, with a specific focus on autonomous multi-robot systems for construction. His most influential work, "Aerial additive manufacturing with multiple autonomous robots" (2022), has garnered 238 citations, marking a significant breakthrough in the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with 3D printing technologies. This research demonstrates how coordinated drone swarms can collaboratively fabricate structures in mid-air, overcoming traditional constraints of ground-based manufacturing and enabling rapid, on-site construction in inaccessible or hazardous environments. Darekar’s contributions have profound implications for disaster relief, infrastructure development, and space exploration, where autonomous aerial fabrication could revolutionize building practices. His work is widely recognized for advancing the scalability and precision of additive manufacturing through distributed robotic systems. With a strong interdisciplinary approach blending robotics, materials science, and control systems, Darekar continues to shape the future of autonomous construction, inspiring both academic and industrial applications in intelligent manufacturing.
