About
K. A. S. V. Rathnayake is a researcher specializing in robotics, human-robot interaction, and embedded systems integration. Their most notable contribution is the development of an accessible, educational wireless mobile robot system that combines commercial off-the-shelf hardware—including the iRobot Create 2, Kinect V2, Arduino Uno, and NRF24L01 radio modules—to enable real-time voice and keyboard control. This work, detailed in their highly cited 2017 paper "Integrating iRobot-Arduino-Kinect Systems: An Educational Voice and Keyboard Operated Wireless Mobile Robot," has garnered 6 citations and demonstrates a practical, low-cost approach to domestic robotics. By bridging speech recognition, wireless communication, and programmable robotics, Rathnayake’s research provides a valuable platform for teaching and prototyping in human-robot interaction. Their work stands out for its emphasis on integrating diverse, readily available technologies to create functional, user-friendly robotic systems, making it a key reference for students and researchers exploring accessible robotics and embedded system design.
