About

T.C. Kalaiselvi is a researcher focused on affordable robotics and automation, with a particular emphasis on developing low-cost solutions for everyday domestic tasks. Her key research area centers on designing efficient, sensor-minimized robotic systems that can perform essential functions without the prohibitive expense of complex hardware. Her most notable contribution is the development of the "ROBOVAC-Automatic Floor Cleaning Robot" (2021), a project that directly addresses the challenge of reducing sensor count in cleaning robots to lower overall manufacturing costs. This work, which has garnered 11 citations, demonstrates her commitment to making practical automation accessible to a wider audience by prioritizing simplicity and cost-effectiveness over unnecessary technological complexity. By tackling the trade-off between functionality and affordability, Kalaiselvi's research offers a valuable blueprint for future low-cost robotics, showing that effective automation does not always require expensive components. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in frugal innovation, embedded systems, and the democratization of robotic technology for real-world applications.
