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]

A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer—capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. A robot can be guided by an external control device, or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed to evoke human form, but most robots are task-performing machines, designed with an emphasis on stark functionality, rather than expressive aesthetics.

Lawbots are a broad class of customer-facing legal AI applications that are used to automate specific legal tasks, such as document automation and legal research. The terms robot lawyer and lawyer bot are used as synonyms to lawbot. A robot lawyer or a robo-lawyer refers to a legal AI application that can perform tasks that are typically done by paralegals or young associates at law firms. However, there is some debate on the correctness of the term. Some commentators say that legal AI is technically speaking neither a lawyer nor a robot and should not be referred to as such. Other commentators believe that the term can be misleading and note that the robot lawyer of the future won't be one all-encompassing application but a collection of specialized bots for various tasks.
