About

Neha A. Kantikar is a researcher at the forefront of intelligent automation, whose work is shaping the future of Industry 4.0. Her primary research focuses on the seamless integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring how these technologies can synergize to create more adaptive and efficient industrial systems. Her most-cited paper, "Integration of RPA and AI in Industry 4.0" (2023), has already garnered 9 citations, signaling its early impact on the field. In this work, Kantikar provides a critical framework for understanding how AI enhances traditional RPA by enabling cognitive decision-making, moving beyond simple rule-based tasks to handle complex, unstructured data. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical automation models and practical, scalable implementations. By demonstrating how AI-driven RPA can reduce operational costs and improve accuracy in manufacturing and logistics, Kantikar is helping to define the next generation of smart factories. Her research is essential reading for students and engineers looking to understand the practical pathways toward fully autonomous industrial ecosystems.
