About
H. A. G. C. Premachandra is a robotics researcher whose work spans autonomous navigation, surgical robotics, and industrial automation. His primary research focuses on developing robust sensing and control systems for robots operating in challenging environments. Premachandra’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on UWB (Ultra-wideband) radar-based SLAM, which enables robots to navigate in vision-denied environments such as smoke-filled rooms or areas with reflective surfaces where traditional LiDAR and cameras fail. His paper “UWB Radar SLAM: An Anchorless Approach in Vision Denied Indoor Environments” (2023) has garnered 30 citations, highlighting its impact on the field. He further advanced this concept with “All-UWB SLAM Using UWB Radar and UWB AOA” (2025), demonstrating a fully UWB-based localization system. Beyond navigation, Premachandra has contributed to medical robotics, designing a robotic uterine manipulator for gynecological laparoscopy that could replace a second assistant surgeon. His work also includes optimizing delta robot pick-and-place sequences using genetic algorithms for industrial sorting applications. Through these diverse contributions, Premachandra is advancing robotic capabilities in both extreme environments and critical surgical settings.
