Awards, Achievements, and Media Coverage

Dr. Gupta received Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) Award from President George W. Bush in 2001 at a ceremony in the White House.[10] He was elected a fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 2007 for his contribution to the field of automation [11] and Society of Manufacturing Engineers Fellow.[12] He was also elected a fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2020 for his contributions to the development of decision-making tools for manufacturing automation.[13] He was conferred Kos Ishii-Toshiba Award in 2011 [14] and Excellence in Research Award in 2013 [15] by ASME to recognize his outstanding research contributions. He was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in 2014.[16] He was named among the 20 most influential professors in smart manufacturing in May 2020 by SME [17]

He led development of RoboRaven, the first robotic bird capable of flying outdoor using independent wing control and performing aerobatic maneuvers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and RoboSAM, the first smart robotic assistant in manufacturing applications that was capable of assessing its own confidence in performing a given task and calling for help when needed.[29][30][31][32][33][34] Dr. Gupta is often quoted by media on topics related to Automation and Robotics.[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] He testified at “Make It in America” Hearing for US House of Representatives.[43]

Research interests

Dr. Gupta's interest is in the area of physics-aware decision-making to facilitate automation. He is specifically interested in decision-making in the context of Computer-Aided Design, Manufacturing Automation, and Robotics. These applications often involve model uncertainty, complex physics, and fast decision-making speeds. He develops decision-making approaches that combine heuristic-aided discrete state-space search and non-linear optimization to produce high-quality decisions by the required decision-making deadlines.

Publications

Dr. Gupta has written more than three hundred and fifty technical articles.[44] He is the co-author of the book titled "Integrated product and process design and development: the product realization process" [45] He also co-authored the book titled "Training in Virtual Environments: A Safe, Cost-Effective, and Engaging Approach to Training".[46] He was awarded two US patent titled "Apparatus and Method for Multi-Part Setup Planning for Sheet Metal Bending Operations" in 2001,[47] and "Surface vehicle trajectory planning systems, devices, and methods" in 2018.[48] He also writes Pursuit of Unorthodox Ideas Blog.[49]
