About
Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee is a pioneering robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive robotics, haptic sensing, and human-robot interaction. His research focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems that can meaningfully support people with physical impairments in activities of daily living, from eating and dressing to therapeutic exercise. Bhattacharjee has made significant contributions to robot-assisted feeding, demonstrating that bite acquisition strategies directly influence transfer success and exploring how varying levels of autonomy affect user experience in real-world assistive contexts (69 citations). His work on haptic and tactile sensing has pushed the boundaries of how robots perceive the physical world, including pioneering data-driven approaches for material recognition via heat transfer (50 citations) and object classification through forearm-mounted tactile arrays (61 citations). Particularly notable is his research enabling robots to engage older adults in partner dance-based exercise (90 citations), blending rehabilitation science with human-robot physical interaction. His multimodal anomaly detection framework for robot manipulation (87 citations) has advanced safer robotic operation in unstructured environments. Across his portfolio, Bhattacharjee consistently bridges fundamental sensing research with deeply human-centered applications, making him a compelling voice in the future of caregiving robotics.
