About

Manicam Ramaswamy is a robotics researcher focused on developing autonomous systems for real-world service applications, particularly in healthcare and sports. His most cited work, "D-Bot: A Food Serving Robot During Pandemic Situation" (2021, 4 citations), addresses a critical need during the COVID-19 crisis by designing an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that delivers food to patients in hospitals. This innovation minimizes direct physical contact between healthcare workers and patients, reducing infection risk and easing logistical burdens in high-risk environments. Ramaswamy’s contribution highlights the practical deployment of AMRs in pandemic response, showcasing how robotics can enhance safety and efficiency in healthcare settings. In another notable project, "Development of Autonomous Table Tennis Ball Retrieving Robot" (2023, 2 citations), he tackles a niche but persistent challenge in sports training: automating the retrieval of scattered table tennis balls during practice sessions. This work demonstrates his versatility in applying robotics to improve user convenience and training productivity. With a growing citation footprint, Ramaswamy’s research bridges robotics and societal needs, offering tangible solutions that inspire further innovation in service robotics and human-robot interaction.
