About
C. M. Shruthi is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotics, with a specialized focus on the design and control of mobile dual-arm robots for high-voltage electrical transmission line inspection. Her work addresses one of the most dangerous tasks in the power industry—manual inspection of live lines—by developing robotic systems that can safely traverse tension towers, straight cables, and jumper wires without interrupting power supply. Shruthi’s major contributions include the integration of fuzzy logic and the Newton barrier method for optimal crossing and control of dual-arm robots, as demonstrated in her most-cited paper (30 citations), and the design of a 5-degree-of-freedom robotic arm for crossing obstacles, with detailed kinematic and static analyses. Her research has been cited over 60 times, reflecting its impact on safer and more efficient power grid maintenance. Notably, her work on wire-traversing robots has advanced the state of the art in suspended robotic systems, offering a practical solution to a critical industrial challenge. Shruthi’s achievements underscore her role in transforming hazardous manual labor into automated, reliable processes, making her a key figure in robotics for infrastructure inspection.
