About

Hakimi Halim is a researcher focused on the intersection of robotics and sustainable energy, with a particular emphasis on in-pipe robotic systems for maintenance and cleaning applications. His primary research areas include energy harvesting mechanisms, autonomous robotic locomotion, and the development of self-sustaining inspection devices for confined environments. Halim’s most notable contribution is his work on harvesting electrical energy from the rotating motion of in-pipe robots (IPRs), specifically building upon the D200 cleaning platform. His 2019 study, which has garnered 4 citations, investigates the feasibility of converting the mechanical rotation of the robot’s cleaning apparatus into usable electrical power, addressing the critical challenge of continuous power supply for long-duration pipeline operations. This work is significant for advancing the autonomy of IPRs, potentially eliminating the need for external tethers or frequent battery replacements. By exploring how much electrical output can be generated from the robot’s own motion, Halim’s research lays groundwork for more efficient, self-powered robotic cleaning devices, contributing to the broader field of energy-autonomous robotics and infrastructure maintenance.
