About
Samhita Marri is a robotics researcher whose work lies at the intersection of soft robotics, modular manipulation, and agricultural automation. Her primary research areas include visual servoing for soft continuum arms, automated synthesis of modular manipulator structures, and precision robotic harvesting in cluttered environments. Marri’s most cited paper, “Visual Servoing for Pose Control of Soft Continuum Arm in a Structured Environment” (2022, 22 citations), addresses the challenge of robust visual feedback for soft robots, proposing a control strategy that overcomes difficulties in feature extraction and shape perception. In “Automated Synthesis of Modular Manipulators’ Structure and Control for Continuous Tasks around Obstacles” (2020, 6 citations), she introduced an end-to-end system for generating correct-by-construction manipulator designs from high-level task specifications, enabling efficient operation in constrained spaces. Her recent work, “Precision Harvesting in Cluttered Environments” (2025, 3 citations), tackles labor shortages in specialty crop industries by integrating end-effector design with dual-camera perception for harvesting in compact high-tunnel environments. Marri’s contributions are notable for advancing soft robot control and modular automation, with applications ranging from manufacturing to agriculture, demonstrating her impact in bridging theoretical robotics with real-world deployment.
