About

V. Yadukrishnan is a robotics and automation researcher whose work bridges industrial manipulation and human-machine interaction. His primary research areas include robotic manipulator design, soft pneumatic actuation, and hand gesture recognition systems. Yadukrishnan’s most notable contribution is the development of an automated SCARA robotic arm integrated with an asymmetric flexible pneumatic bellow actuator (AFPBA) soft gripper, specifically engineered for the poultry industry. This 3-DOF manipulator demonstrates how soft robotics can be applied to delicate handling tasks in food processing, achieving 4 citations for its innovative design and control methodology. Additionally, his work on robust feature extraction techniques for hand gesture recognition (3 citations) advances non-contact human-robot interaction, enabling more intuitive control interfaces. By combining soft pneumatic end-effectors with automated precision manipulation, Yadukrishnan addresses critical challenges in industrial automation—particularly the need for gentle yet efficient handling of variable objects. His research holds promise for transforming manufacturing and food processing sectors, where adaptability and safety are paramount.
