About

Puru Rastogi is a leading researcher in aerial robotics and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on enabling robust, real-world UAV operations. His most influential work, "Visual Servoing Approach to Autonomous UAV Landing on a Moving Vehicle" (2022), has garnered 71 citations and addresses a critical challenge in the field: the precise, autonomous landing of drones on moving platforms like delivery trucks or marine vessels. This contribution is pivotal for advancing applications in logistics, search-and-rescue, and environmental monitoring. Rastogi’s research integrates visual servoing, control theory, and computer vision to develop algorithms that allow UAVs to track and land on dynamic targets with high accuracy and reliability. His work stands out for its practical, implementation-focused approach, bridging the gap between theoretical control methods and real-world deployment. By solving the complex problem of landing on moving vehicles, Rastogi has significantly enhanced the autonomy and safety of aerial robotic systems, making them viable for commercial and industrial use. His contributions continue to inspire new research in autonomous navigation and human-robot interaction.
