Research Interest

.K. Pratihar has made significant contributions in design and development of intelligent autonomous systems in various fields of Engineering Science, namely robotics, manufacturing science, and others. He has proposed adaptive motion planning schemes for intelligent robots using the principle of soft computing (a family consisting of fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms and others, and their several combinations), whose performances have been tested on real robots. In relation to automation in manufacturing processes, he has developed expert systems using sot computing to establish their input-output relationships both in forward and reverse directions. He has also made notable contributions in developing soft computing-based screening and prediction tools for various diseases. Besides manipulators, he has worked on design and analysis of biped and six-legged robots.
