About

Dhanushka Chamara Liyanage is a robotics researcher whose work bridges collaborative robotics, computer vision, and advanced sensing for mobile ground robots. His primary research areas include dual-arm robotic systems, human-robot interaction, and the integration of hyperspectral imaging for material inspection and scene understanding. Liyanage’s most cited work, "A Dual-Arm Robot for Collaborative Vision-Based Object Classification" (11 citations), introduces a collaborative robot capable of safely working alongside humans while using vision to detect and classify workpieces—a key contribution to smart manufacturing. His 2025 review, "From ADAS to Material-Informed Inspection," surveys the evolution of hyperspectral imaging from space missions to ground robots, highlighting its potential for material identification and non-destructive inspection. In a more playful demonstration of human-robot collaboration, his 2018 paper "ABB YuMi© High-Speed Pick and Place Game in Action" (3 citations) showcases an untrained user safely interacting with an industrial robot in a museum setting, where the robot plays a game with visitors. With a growing citation footprint, Liyanage’s work is shaping the future of safe, intelligent, and perceptive robotic systems for both industrial and public-facing applications.
