About

M. Nalini is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on developing practical, socially impactful robotic systems for safety, rescue, and public health. Her key research areas include human-robot interaction, autonomous disinfection technologies, and assistive robotics for hazardous environments. Nalini’s most notable contribution is the “Hand Gesture Based Bore Well Rescue Robot” (2021, 7 citations), a life-saving innovation designed to retrieve trapped victims from narrow bore wells using intuitive gesture-based control, eliminating the need for risky manual intervention. She also developed the “UV-Disinfectant Robot Using Bluetooth” (2023, 2 citations), an autonomous system that combines UVC light with a biosensor to navigate and sterilize high-risk spaces like airports, hospitals, and public transport, reducing pathogen transmission without human exposure. This work demonstrates her commitment to accessible, low-cost automation for real-world challenges. Nalini’s research is characterized by its direct application to pressing societal problems, from emergency rescue to infection control, making her a promising voice in field robotics and human-centered automation.
