About

H. N. Gunasinghe’s research centers on affordable, accessible robotics for indoor environments, with a focus on human-robot interaction and assistive technologies. His major contributions include developing a low-cost, vision-based office assistant robot that leverages free, open-source software and inexpensive sensors to navigate unstructured indoor spaces—a practical solution for real-world deployment. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 9 citations, reflecting its utility in applied robotics. Gunasinghe also pioneered an educational wireless mobile robot system integrating iRobot, Arduino, and Kinect technologies, controlled via voice and keyboard commands for domestic settings. This 2017 study, with 6 citations, demonstrates his commitment to making robotics education and prototyping accessible through commercial off-the-shelf components. By emphasizing cost-effectiveness and open-source tools, Gunasinghe’s work bridges the gap between advanced robotics research and practical, scalable implementations, offering valuable insights for students and researchers in affordable automation and assistive robotics.
