Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Information Technology at Short Bio: A/Prof Sridhar Ravi is an Associate Professor in the SEIT at UNSW Canberra. A/Prof Ravi's research focuses on identifying the salient sensorimotor strategies that enable natural biological systems to deal with challenges of aerial navigation in the inherently complex outdoor environment and implementing these strategies on artificial platforms to build smarter miniature flying robots. He strives to conduct highly multi-disciplinary research whereby he uses biological systems such as insects and birds as inspirational and prototypical models to design and engineer smarter miniature artificial flying systems. |
