About

N. Perumal is a leading researcher in the intersection of intelligent control systems, mobile robotics, and rehabilitation engineering. Their work is defined by a commitment to developing adaptive, bio-inspired, and human-centered robotic technologies. A cornerstone of their research is the application of advanced computational intelligence, most notably through the systematic design and real-time implementation of a controller based on Optimal Type-2 Fuzzy Logic, a highly cited paper (49 citations) that demonstrates their expertise in handling complex, uncertain systems. Perumal has also made significant contributions to autonomous navigation, proposing an Ant Colony Optimization technique for mobile robot path planning (48 citations), which effectively solves the problem of finding optimal routes in complex environments. In the critical field of rehabilitation, Perumal has pioneered the use of virtual reality-based serious games for arm rehabilitation (21 citations), directly addressing the motivational deficits of traditional therapy. Their work extends to the design and control of wearable exoskeletons and multi-fingered robot hands, employing fuzzy logic and PID controllers to create more responsive and effective assistive devices. Through this body of work, Perumal has established a clear impact, bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and practical, life-changing robotic applications.
