About

Dr. M. M. M. S. Mayadunne is a researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction and software engineering, with a focus on socially impactful technologies. A key area of her research is the development of robotic companions for therapeutic applications, particularly for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Her 2020 paper on a spherical social robot designed to redirect repetitive behaviors and improve motor skills has garnered 6 citations, establishing a foundation for assistive robotics in pediatric care. More recently, Dr. Mayadunne has advanced the field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with her 2025 work on "RPAEstiMate," an effort estimation model for RPA transformation projects. This model provides project teams with a systematic approach to calculating work requirements, addressing a critical gap in RPA implementation. Her contributions demonstrate a unique ability to apply engineering principles to both social robotics and enterprise automation, reflecting a commitment to creating practical tools that improve human lives—from supporting children with special needs to optimizing business processes.
