About

Pranav Srinivas is a robotics researcher whose work lies at the intersection of swarm intelligence, cooperative manipulation, and distributed manufacturing. His most notable contribution is the development of **SPRINTER**, a discrete locomotion robot designed for precision swarm printing. In this highly cited 2019 paper, Srinivas introduced a quasi-holonomic mobile robot and a novel method enabling a group of such robots to collaboratively print large graphical images—a breakthrough that merges multi-robot coordination with additive manufacturing. This work has garnered 6 citations and established him as a pioneer in swarm-based construction. Srinivas further advanced the field with **LOGISWARM** (2022), a low-cost, open-source multi-robot testbed specifically designed for cooperative transport research. With 5 citations, this platform provides researchers with an accessible tool to study decentralized manipulation and collective decision-making, lowering the barrier to entry for swarm robotics experimentation. His contributions are particularly impactful for students and researchers seeking practical, scalable solutions in multi-robot systems. By combining elegant hardware design with robust coordination algorithms, Srinivas has demonstrated how swarms of simple robots can achieve complex, real-world tasks—from printing to transport—paving the way for future applications in construction, logistics, and environmental remediation.
