About

Gurdeep Saini is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on human-robot interaction, particularly in the domain of autonomous navigation and assistive technologies. His most-cited paper, "Follow Me: A Human Following Robot Using Wi-Fi Received Signal Strength Indicator" (2020), has garnered 12 citations, showcasing his innovative approach to enabling robots to track and follow humans using ubiquitous Wi-Fi signals rather than expensive sensors. This work addresses key challenges in non-line-of-sight tracking and low-cost human-robot collaboration, with potential applications in healthcare, logistics, and personal assistance. Saini’s contributions lie in leveraging existing wireless infrastructure to create intuitive, accessible robotic systems that can operate in dynamic environments. His research bridges the gap between signal processing and robotics, offering practical solutions for real-world deployment. By demonstrating that Wi-Fi RSSI can be a reliable cue for human following, Saini has opened new avenues for cost-effective, scalable human-robot interaction, making his work a valuable reference for students and researchers exploring low-resource robotic systems.
