Doctoral Researcher · Kochi, Japan
I’m Randeera Liyanage, a Doctoral Researcher at Kochi University of Technology, Japan. My research focuses on formation control of balancing robots using discrete-valued inputs.
01 / About
My research sits at the intersection of control theory and robotics, with a current focus on formation control of balancing robots using discrete-valued inputs. I am particularly interested in how these dynamically unstable robots can coordinate and maintain formations under constrained control inputs.
Before beginning my doctorate, I worked as an academic in mechatronics engineering. My work spanned mechatronic systems, with a primary focus on control systems and robotics, alongside embedded systems, condition monitoring, signal processing, IoT, and edge computing. That practical foundation continues to shape how I approach theoretical control problems.
