About

Dr. Yugal Kumar is a researcher dedicated to advancing the practical implementation of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) through cost-effective hardware solutions. His primary research areas include wireless communication, network testbeds, and low-cost robotics for networking experiments. Dr. Kumar's most notable contribution is the development of "ToMRobot: A Low-Cost Robot for MANET Testbed" (2018), which directly addresses a critical barrier in MANET research—the prohibitive cost of real-world experimental setups. By designing an affordable robotic platform, he enables researchers to move beyond simulation tools and conduct tangible, real-world studies, thereby enhancing the validity and applicability of their findings. This work, cited 2 times, underscores his commitment to democratizing access to experimental networking research. Dr. Kumar's innovative approach bridges the gap between theoretical models and practical deployment, making him a valuable contributor to the field of mobile ad-hoc networking.
