About
Arvin H. Fernando is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on swarm robotics, modular mobile robots, and in-pipe inspection systems. His most significant contribution is the development of an obstacle avoidance algorithm for quadrotor swarms using artificial potential fields (24 citations), which provides a real-time collision prevention solution for unmanned aerial vehicles. Fernando has also made substantial advances in pipe inspection robotics, creating an adaptive robot capable of detecting and localizing rust in complex pipe networks (16 citations), and designing a versatile tri-legged robot that can traverse multiple pipe diameters (16 citations). His research extends to modular robotics, where he has modeled six-wheeled modular systems for linear traversal and analyzed load-pushing capacities in cooperative multi-robot configurations. Notably, Fernando has explored bio-inspired swarm formations, adapting peloton cycling behavior for aerodynamic optimization in multi-agent systems (11 citations). His work on symbiotic models for modular robots demonstrates his commitment to developing sustainable, efficient robotic systems for heavy and hazardous tasks. With a growing citation record spanning over a decade, Fernando continues to advance practical robotics solutions for real-world infrastructure inspection and multi-robot coordination challenges.
