About

S. Vivekananthen is a leading researcher in mobile robotics, with a primary focus on motion path planning in unknown and hazardous environments. His seminal 2015 review paper, “A review on mobile robots motion path planning in unknown environments,” has garnered 24 citations, establishing a foundational framework for autonomous navigation in settings where pre-mapped routes are unavailable. Vivekananthen’s work addresses critical challenges in deploying robots for high-precision industrial tasks—such as riveting and welding—as well as for dangerous missions like toxic waste disposal and bomb defusal. By synthesizing algorithms for real-time obstacle avoidance and adaptive path generation, he has advanced the reliability and safety of mobile robots in unpredictable terrains. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging theoretical planning models with practical applications in factory automation and emergency response. Vivekananthen’s research continues to influence the development of smarter, more resilient robotic systems, making him a key figure in the evolution of autonomous mobile robotics.
