About

Hamdan Sulaiman is a researcher at the forefront of robotic construction and tele-operated heavy machinery, specializing in the development of unmanned and remotely controlled excavator systems for hazardous environments. His work addresses the critical need for safe, efficient operation in high-risk post-disaster recovery zones, where human presence is dangerous. Sulaiman’s major contributions include a comprehensive re-evaluation of modern manned, unmanned, and tele-operated construction vehicles, as detailed in his most-cited paper, “MODERN MANNED, UNMANNED AND TELEOPERATED EXCAVATOR SYSTEM” (2015, 20 citations), which highlights global university efforts in robotized excavators. He further advanced the field with his study on the tele-operated electro-hydraulic actuator (T-EHA) for mini excavator tele-operation (2016, 6 citations), focusing on precise remote control of robotic systems. By integrating electro-hydraulic actuation with tele-operation, Sulaiman has pioneered practical solutions that enhance safety and operational capability in extreme environments. His work is foundational for students and researchers exploring autonomous construction, disaster robotics, and human-machine interfaces, offering a clear path toward safer, more resilient infrastructure recovery.
