Service Robots

I started my PhD in 2016 with Prof. Buddhika Jayasekara in the Intelligent Service Robotics Group. This was when service robotics began gaining momentum in Sri Lanka, and the group grew steadily as new members joined. It was a turning point in my life: as one of the first members, I had the rare opportunity to help build the lab from the ground up.
