About

Sindu Divakaran is a researcher advancing the intersection of robotics and healthcare, with a focus on developing intelligent systems for medical assistance and rehabilitation. Her work primarily spans two key areas: hospital automation and wearable robotic devices for therapeutic applications. In her notable 2020 paper, "Drug Retrieving System in Hospitals Using Robotics," she proposed a robotic solution to streamline medication delivery, addressing the critical need for efficiency in busy clinical environments. This work has garnered 7 citations, reflecting its relevance to emerging hospital automation technologies. More recently, in 2022, Divakaran contributed to rehabilitation engineering with "Designing of controlled wearable robot for the treatment of ankle injuries using flex sensors." This study introduced a bio-inspired wearable robot that leverages flex sensors for controlled, targeted therapy, aiming to restore ankle durability and range of motion after injury—a significant step toward accessible, at-home rehabilitation. Though early in her career, Divakaran’s research demonstrates a clear commitment to practical, human-centered robotics, with potential impacts on patient care and recovery outcomes. Her work continues to inspire further exploration in medical robotics and assistive technology.
