Venkat N. Krovi
is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering,
Director of the Automation
Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory and Director of Haptics
in the New York
State Center for Engineering Design and Industrial Innovation
at the University at Buffalo (UB).
 His
research examines the complete lifecycle treatment (design,
modeling, analysis, control, implementation and verification)
of a new generation of smart, embedded mechanical and mechatronic
systems for emergent applications in plant-automation systems,
consumer electronics, automobile and defense arenas. The focus
is both on theoretical formulation and experimental validation
with the goal of realizing tangible enhancements in functionality,
performance and cost-effectiveness. Specific initiatives underway
include multi-robot collaboration, mediated human-computer
interfaces, haptic user-interface design and distributed real-time
simulation and control of systems. In 2004, he received a
NSF CAREER Award that supported his research and educational
activities on cooperative payload transport by fleets of autonomous
robotic modules. |
