About
Rajkumar Gothandaraman is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, digital heritage, and advanced manufacturing. His primary research areas include robotic automation, 3D digital reconstruction, and the application of industrial manipulators for cultural heritage preservation. His most notable contribution is a pioneering method for the robot-assisted 3D digital reconstruction of heritage artifacts, using a six-degree-of-freedom industrial manipulator and an area similarity approach. This work, published in 2020 and cited 5 times, introduces a novel system that automates image acquisition through a virtual environment created in Robot Studio® software, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of digital preservation. By integrating trajectory planning with robotic control, Gothandaraman has developed a practical framework that bridges engineering and heritage science, offering a scalable solution for documenting fragile or inaccessible artifacts. His research demonstrates how industrial robotics can be repurposed for cultural applications, reducing human error and manual labor in digitization. This achievement highlights his ability to innovate at the crossroads of technology and heritage, making his work valuable for researchers in robotics, computer vision, and digital conservation.
