Professor Sarath Kodagoda is a leading academic and researcher in robotics and mechatronics at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where he serves as Acting Director of the UTS Robotics Institute. He specializes in sensor fusion, data processing, and machine learning, with a focus on robotic solutions for infrastructure inspection and assistive technologies. His work includes developing the Robotic Remote Lab teaching facilities and founding the iPipes lab for wastewater infrastructure research. Affiliations: UTS Robotics Institute, Faculty of Engineering & IT Leadership Roles: President of the Australian Robotics & Automation Association, Ambassador for NSW Smart Sensing Network His research interests span robotics, sensor networks, and infrastructure robotics, with notable contributions to pipeline inspection and tactile sensing. He has published over 170 papers, attracted $6M+ in grants, and supervised 12 PhD students now working at Amazon, Google, and ABB. Awards include the UTS Medal for Teaching & Research Integration and multiple national/international innovation awards. Recent work emphasizes robotic systems for wastewater infrastructure, assistive robotics for vision-impaired individuals, and advanced sensor technologies. His articles highlight innovations in tactile sensing skins, 3D object detection (e.g., CaLiJD, LMIINet), and pipeline defect detection (PIPE-CovNet+). Grants: Contracts with Amplitel, NBN Co Ltd, and ARC Linkage Projects Labs/Teams: UTS Robotics Institute, iPipes Lab
