About

Abubakar Abubakar is a researcher in mechatronics and control systems, with a focus on precision motion tracking and low-cost automation. His most cited work, "Design of a laser tracker using 2-DOF stepper controlled platform" (2016, 3 citations), introduces an indigenous, cost-effective laser-guided tracking system that integrates both hardware and software architectures. By leveraging a two-degree-of-freedom stepper-controlled platform, Abubakar demonstrates a practical proof-of-concept for tracking moving objects, addressing the need for affordable alternatives to expensive commercial laser trackers. This contribution is particularly notable for its emphasis on developing locally fabricated prototypes, showcasing his commitment to accessible engineering solutions. While his citation count is modest, his work represents a foundational step in democratizing precision tracking technology, with potential applications in robotics, industrial automation, and surveillance. Abubakar’s research underscores the value of resourceful design in advancing mechatronic systems, making his work a useful reference for students and engineers exploring low-cost motion control and sensor integration.
