About

Romit Roy Choudhury is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of wireless networking, mobile computing, and embedded systems, best known for his visionary work on injecting physical mobility into network infrastructure. His major contributions include co-founding the concept of "robotic wireless networks," where WiFi access points are placed on wheels to autonomously reposition themselves for optimal performance. Through seminal papers like "The Case for Robotic Wireless Networks" (2016) and "If WiFi APs Could Move: A Measurement Study" (2018), he demonstrated how even modest, controlled movement of access points can dramatically improve signal coverage, reduce interference, and enhance user throughput—without requiring battery-powered operation. His work has garnered hundreds of citations and influenced both academic research and industry thinking on self-deploying networks. Beyond this, Roy Choudhury has made foundational contributions to mobile sensing, visible light communication, and IoT systems, earning multiple best paper awards and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. His research continues to inspire a new generation of engineers to reimagine static wireless infrastructure as agile, responsive, and adaptive.
