About

P. Rajalakshmy is a researcher focused on advancing autonomous systems and assistive robotics, with key contributions spanning autonomous mobile robots, biomedical signal processing, and prosthetic technology. Her most cited work, a comprehensive 2022 review on autonomous mobile robots (6 citations), critically examines how robotic autonomy and mobility are transforming industries by tackling the "three D's"—dirty, dangerous, and dull tasks—driven by economic and safety imperatives. Demonstrating interdisciplinary expertise, she developed an ANFIS-based method to estimate elbow joint angles from surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals (2019, 4 citations), offering a non-invasive approach for human-robot interaction and rehabilitation. Her applied work includes designing a low-cost, flex-controlled anthropomorphic prosthetic hand (2022, 2 citations) to restore independence for amputees, addressing the critical gap between functionality and affordability. By integrating machine learning, biosignal analysis, and practical robotics, Rajalakshmy’s research directly impacts the development of intelligent, accessible robotic systems for healthcare and industrial automation, with her work laying groundwork for more autonomous, human-centered robotic solutions.
