DR. GUPTA's research experience is in the field of neuro-vision systems, neuro-control systems, neural-fuzzy logic, intelligent robotic systems, and image and signal processing with their applications to space, industrial, and medical systems.

Following is a brief description of his research activities:

Neuro-vision Research: Dr. Gupta has been contributing for many years to the theory of neuro-vision systems using biological vision as a basis. This work has led to the development of some important dynamic neural models for their applications to receptive fields, associative memory, visual memory and other visual functions. Such visual functions are important tools in the development of robotic vision systems for space and industry, and for the creation of vision prosthesis.
Neuro-Control Systems: Another major area of Dr. Gupta's research has been in the field of neuro-control systems with learning and adaptive capabilities. He has developed several methodologies using conventional Liapunov methods to neuro-fuzzy algorithms. His recent theory on inverse dynamic neuro-control systems has been applied to robotics and flexible structures both for space and industrial robotic systems.
Neuro-Fuzzy Logic Research: Since the early seventies, Dr. Gupta has also been involved with the notion of fuzzy logic and fuzzy arithmetic. These notions are being used extensively for the emulation of some of the decision-making human cognitive functions. His present research work is directed towards the theory of neuro-fuzzy logic for its applications to control and vision for robotics and industrial systems. This research is also extended to monitoring the health of rotating machines and to the diagnosis of incipient cardiac disorders.

Honours Received: Dr. Gupta has been honoured with Fellowships from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) and SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering for his research. In 1991, he was co-recipient of the Institute of Electrical Engineering Kelvin Premium. In June 1998, Dr Gupta received the Kauffmann Prize Gold Medal for Research in the field of fuzzy logic. In October 1998, he was honoured by the award of Earned Doctor of Science by the University of Saskatchewan for his work in neuro-control, neuro-vision and fuzzy-neural systems.

Consulting Interest: Applications of neuro-vision, neuro-control, fuzzy logic, signal processing and image processing methods to biomedical, space and industrial systems.

Professional Activities: Has served on many international societies such as IEEE, SPIE, ACC, NAFIPS, etc. in coordinating international conferences. He is the member of the editorial board for over ten research journals. He has also served on the Canadian NSERC Grant Selection Committee for Electrical Engineering.
