About Professor Venkat N. Krovi

Prof. Venkat N. Krovi (FASME, SM IEEE) is currently the Michelin Endowed SmartState Chair Professor of Vehicle Automation at Clemson University – International Center for Automotive Research. His research focuses on intelligent modulation of distributed physical-power-interactions (motions/forces) between humans and autonomous-systems to unlock the “power of the many”. Research activities focus on the life-cycle treatment (design, modeling, analysis, control, implementation and verification) of a new generation of ConnectedAutonomy systems for realizing Human-Autonomy synergy in emerging automotive-, plant-automation-, co-robotics-, and defense- applications. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics and was the Founding EiC of the SAE Journal of Connected and Automated Vehicles. He has also taken significant leadership roles within multiple professional societies (IEEE/ASME/SAE) as well as supporting development of the 2020 US Robotics Roadmap.  Further details are available from http://cecas.clemson.edu/armlab-cuicar
