Robotics Enthusiast dedicated to building things that actually work.

I'm Hirusha Maduwantha, a final-year Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa. I completed my research internship at the Digital Manufacturing and Design Centre (DManD) at SUTD, where I worked on robotic 3D printing, soft robotics,smart materials, 4D printing, freeform toolpath generation and intelligent fabrication systems.

I've also been actively involved at my university as a Teaching Assistant for the EN2533 Robot Design and Competition module and EN2091 - Laboratory Practice and Projects module, supporting labs and mentoring students. Recently, I also took on the role of Head of Education at the Electronic Club SLRC Branch, where I help design workshops and guide students through robotics and embedded systems projects.

My work mainly focuses on robotics, computer vision, autonomous systems, deep learning, shared autonomy (HRI) and advanced additive manufacturing. I love working on humanoids, legged robots, robot simulations, robotic arm printing, and trying out different additive manufacturing methods.

I'm passionate about the connection between robotics, AI, and digital fabrication. I love experimenting, debugging, and turning ideas into real, working prototypes. Outside engineering, I enjoy photography, exploring tech projects, and getting involved in robotics competitions.

More than anything, I love building robots and systems that actually work—simple, reliable, and useful.
