About
Sanat Kumar Pattnaik is a researcher specializing in autonomous mobile robotics, with a particular focus on path planning in complex, unknown environments. His work addresses a critical challenge in robotics: enabling a mobile robot to navigate safely and efficiently through cluttered spaces without a pre-mapped environment. Pattnaik’s major contribution lies in the application of meta-heuristic algorithms to solve multi-objective path planning problems. His most-cited paper (2021, 27 citations) presents a comparative study of meta-heuristics for local path planning, aiming to find an optimum, impact-free path length. Building on this, his subsequent work introduces a novel constrained multi-objective function that simultaneously optimizes route length, path smoothness, and safety—a significant step beyond traditional methods that often fail in dynamic settings. Though early in his citation trajectory, Pattnaik’s research is gaining traction for its practical relevance to autonomous systems. His approach offers a robust framework for real-time navigation, making his contributions valuable for students and engineers working on mobile robot autonomy in unstructured environments.
