About

A. G. Amitha Perera is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and building energy efficiency. Her key research areas include autonomous mapping, feature extraction, and robot navigation in complex environments. Perera’s most significant contribution is the development of algorithms for automatic building exterior mapping using multilayer feature graphs, a method that enables robots to identify and map building facades during simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). This work is crucial for advancing building energy retrofitting, as it allows robots to autonomously gather structural data needed for efficiency upgrades. Her 2013 paper on this topic has garnered 11 citations, reflecting its niche but growing influence in the field. By integrating visual features with spatial reasoning, Perera’s approach not only aids in energy conservation but also enhances robot navigation in urban settings. Her research stands out for its practical application, bridging the gap between robotic perception and real-world infrastructure challenges. For students and researchers, Perera’s work offers a compelling example of how robotics can directly contribute to sustainability and smart building technologies.
