About

Dr. Lokesh Sardana is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between theoretical kinematics and practical surgical applications. His primary research focuses on medical robotics, particularly the development of minimally invasive surgical tools, and the design of bio-inspired walking robots with flexible locomotion systems. Dr. Sardana’s most significant contribution is his geometric approach to solving the inverse kinematics of a 4-link redundant robot designed for in-vivo biopsy procedures, a study that has garnered 26 citations and laid foundational work for precise, flexible robotic manipulation within the human body. This work addresses critical challenges in surgical robotics, such as navigating confined spaces with high accuracy. Additionally, his simulation and experimental studies on walking robots with flexible legs, though with fewer citations, demonstrate his broader interest in compliant mechanisms and biomimetic design. Dr. Sardana’s research is characterized by a hands-on, experimental methodology that validates theoretical models, making his findings directly applicable to real-world robotic systems. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring the intersection of kinematics, medical devices, and soft robotics.
