About

Kalaiselvi Aramugam is a robotics researcher focused on developing autonomous systems for real-world applications, particularly in healthcare and infrastructure maintenance. Her work addresses critical societal challenges, as demonstrated by her most-cited paper, "D-Bot: A Food Serving Robot During Pandemic Situation" (2021, 4 citations), which proposes an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designed to deliver food to patients in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. This innovation minimizes direct physical contact between healthcare workers and patients, reducing infection risk and highlighting the role of robotics in public health crises. Aramugam also contributes to industrial safety with her paper "Development of a Laboratory-Scale Pipeline Crack Inspection Robot" (2021, 2 citations), which tackles the growing problem of pipeline degradation in sewage systems, restaurants, and offshore oil mining. By creating a robot capable of navigating and inspecting pipes, she advances preventive maintenance and hazard detection. Though her citation counts are modest, her work is notable for its timely, practical impact—bridging robotics with urgent needs in pandemic response and infrastructure resilience. Aramugam’s research exemplifies how engineering innovation can directly improve safety and efficiency in everyday environments.
