About
Dr. C. Shylaja is a robotics and public health researcher whose work bridges engineering innovation with real-world pandemic response. Her most cited paper, "Design and Development of Ultra-Violet Light Disinfectant Robot" (2021, 10 citations), addresses the urgent need for automated infection control during the COVID-19 crisis. This research details the creation of a mobile robot equipped with UV-C light to disinfect surfaces in hospitals and public spaces, reducing human exposure to the virus. The study’s timeliness and practical application have made it a reference point for engineers and healthcare planners developing autonomous sanitization systems. Dr. Shylaja’s contributions lie in integrating sensor-based navigation with effective UV dosage protocols, ensuring both safety and efficacy. While her citation count reflects the niche but critical nature of her work, its impact is amplified by the global context of the pandemic, influencing subsequent designs in low-cost, scalable disinfection robotics. Her research exemplifies how engineering can directly mitigate public health emergencies, offering a blueprint for future autonomous systems in infection control.
