About

Gour Karmakar is a distinguished researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of cybersecurity, robotics, and industrial systems. His scholarship focuses on identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in technologically complex environments, with particular emphasis on robotic systems and smart manufacturing infrastructure. Karmakar's most recognized contribution is his comprehensive survey of cyber security attacks on robotic systems, which has collectively garnered nearly 30 citations across its iterations. This work systematically examines how the proliferation of IoT devices, wireless sensor networks, and web interfaces within robotic platforms creates significant attack surfaces, while proposing practical mitigation strategies. His research has helped bring much-needed attention to an emerging and underexplored domain within the cybersecurity community. Extending his expertise into industrial settings, Karmakar's 2021 investigation into cybersecurity risks within meat processing plants bridges information security with operational efficiency frameworks like Total Productive Maintenance. This work reflects his broader commitment to applying security thinking to real-world industrial environments increasingly dependent on automated systems and IoT connectivity. Overall, Karmakar's research serves as a valuable resource for engineers, security professionals, and policymakers grappling with the growing cyber threats facing modern robotic and manufacturing systems.
