About
Dr. Rekha Srivastava is a leading researcher in robotics and automation, with a primary focus on the design and development of specialized robotic systems for industrial inspection and maintenance. Her key research areas include locomotion and adhesion techniques for mobile robots, particularly in challenging environments like oil refineries and pipelines. Dr. Srivastava’s major contribution is the pioneering design of an out-pipe crawler robot, which addresses the critical need for safer, more efficient pipeline inspection during plant shutdowns. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2018 paper (9 citations), replaces hazardous manual inspections using scaffolding with a robotic solution, significantly reducing time, cost, and risk to human workers. Her research has direct implications for industrial safety and operational efficiency, showcasing a practical application of robotics in hazardous settings. Dr. Srivastava’s work is notable for its focus on real-world problem-solving, bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and industrial needs. Her innovative approach to locomotion and adhesion mechanisms continues to influence the field of industrial robotics and automation.
