About

B. Gurumoorthy is a pioneering researcher in robotics and manufacturing, whose work bridges foundational theory and cutting-edge fabrication. His key research areas include robot calibration, geometric modeling, and advanced additive manufacturing. Gurumoorthy’s major contribution is a perturbation-based approach to robot calibration, detailed in his 1987 paper (21 citations), which expanded manipulator solutions to second order in joint parameters—a foundational method for improving robotic precision. He also advanced computer-aided design with his work on octree encoding of boundary-representation (B-rep) objects (1996, 10 citations), enabling efficient 3D model processing. More recently, he has explored vat photopolymerization for spatially steered flexible fiber reinforcement (2024, 3 citations), demonstrating his enduring innovation in manufacturing. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, Gurumoorthy’s impact spans decades, from early robotics theory to modern composite fabrication. His achievements reflect a career dedicated to solving complex engineering challenges, making his research essential for students and scholars in robotics, CAD, and additive manufacturing.
