About
Karan Mauskar is a robotics researcher specializing in the development of autonomous inspection systems for critical nuclear infrastructure. His primary research areas include mobile robotics, non-destructive evaluation, and remote sensing for hazardous environments. Mauskar’s most notable contribution is his work on robotic crawlers designed for the in-service inspection of spent nuclear fuel dry storage systems (DSS). His 2021 paper, “In-Service Inspection of Extended Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, Part I: Crawler Technology Development,” describes the creation of remote crawling platforms capable of performing periodic examinations of DSS canisters—a vital task for ensuring long-term safety and regulatory compliance in the U.S. nuclear industry. While his citation count is currently modest, his work addresses a pressing real-world challenge: enabling safe, remote access to highly radioactive environments without human exposure. This research has direct implications for extending the operational life of nuclear storage facilities and advancing robotic autonomy in extreme conditions. Mauskar’s engineering focus on practical, deployable solutions positions him as an emerging contributor to the intersection of robotics and nuclear safety.
