About
Samar Shailendra is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and next-generation networking, whose work is critical for enabling reliable, low-latency communication in autonomous systems. His primary research areas span multipath transport protocols, particularly Multipath TCP (MPTCP), and their application in robotic and drone communications, as well as cellular haptic communication for the Tactile Internet. Shailendra’s major contributions include pioneering the design of specialized MPTCP path schedulers for drones and mobile robots, ensuring robust connectivity in mission-critical scenarios like search and rescue during industrial accidents. He also developed PPoS, a novel sub-flow scheduler and socket APIs for MPTCP, and addressed delay-sensitive wireless relaying in multi-robot indoor networks. His work on low-latency uplink scheduling for cellular haptic communication directly supports the demanding requirements of the Tactile Internet. With over 29 citations across his most influential papers, Shailendra’s research has laid foundational groundwork for deploying multi-robot systems in unknown environments, as evidenced by his 2024 study on exploration and coverage path planning. His achievements are shaping the future of autonomous, networked robotics.
