The paper entitled “Interpreting Uncertain Information Related to Relative References for Improved Navigational Command Understanding of Service Robots” was presented at 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) held September 24-28, 2017, Vancouver, Canada by Viraj Muthugala, a research student who is working under supervision of Dr. Buddhika Jayasekara. They are working on development of MIRob (Moratuwa Intelligent Robot), an intelligent service robot for domestic environments in the robotics and control laboratory of the department of Electrical Engineering. IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) is annually organized by IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and Robotics Society Japan as their flagship conference. This research was funded by the Senate Research Capital Grants No SRC/CAP/16/03.

Three postgraduate students, Viraj Muthugala, Arjuna Srimal and Chapa Sirithunga of the Department of Electrical Engineering have presented three research papers at IEEE international conference on Fuzzy systems 2017 (IEEE Fuzz 2017) held July 9-12, Naples, Italy. They are working on development of MIRob (Moratuwa Intelligent Robot) , an intelligent service robot for domestic environments in the robotics and control laboratory of the department under the Supervision of Dr. Buddhika Jayasekara. This research was funded by the Senate Research Capital Grants No: SRC/CAP/14/16, SRC/CAP/16/03 and SRC/CAP/17/03.
