About

Dr. Thilagarani Selvaraj has made foundational contributions at the intersection of robotics and industrial automation, with a particular focus on intelligent inspection and quality control systems. Her most-cited work, "Robotics in online inspection and quality control using moment algorithm" (2012), introduced a novel computational approach for real-time defect detection during manufacturing processes. By applying moment algorithms to robotic vision, Dr. Selvaraj enabled automated systems to identify material transfer anomalies and surface irregularities with greater precision than traditional threshold-based methods. This work has garnered 6 citations and remains a reference point for researchers developing non-destructive evaluation techniques in production environments. Her research addresses a critical bottleneck in Industry 4.0: the need for adaptive, algorithm-driven quality assurance that reduces human error while maintaining high throughput. Dr. Selvaraj’s contributions are particularly valuable for small-to-medium manufacturers seeking cost-effective automation solutions. By bridging computer vision, robotics kinematics, and statistical pattern recognition, she has helped lay the groundwork for smarter, more responsive manufacturing lines. Her ongoing work continues to explore how moment-based feature extraction can be optimized for high-speed, online inspection tasks.
