About
Dr. Agung Purwanto is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on autonomous mobile robots for public health and hazardous environments. His key research areas include behavior-based control systems, obstacle avoidance, and human-robot interaction in disinfection applications. Purwanto’s major contribution is the development of the ROISC-v1.0 (Robotic Disinfectant), a mobile robot designed to autonomously navigate and sterilize indoor spaces using 222nm UV light. His most-cited paper, "Wall Following and Obstacle Avoidance Control in Roisc-v1.0," demonstrates how behavior-based control enables the robot to move independently, avoiding obstacles while following walls—a critical capability for replacing humans in dangerous sterilization tasks. Although his citation count (3) is modest, his work addresses a timely need for robotic solutions in pandemic response and infection control. Purwanto’s research bridges the gap between theoretical control algorithms and practical deployment, offering a scalable approach to automated disinfection. His achievements highlight the potential of low-cost, behavior-based robotics to enhance safety in healthcare and public spaces, making him a notable contributor to the field of service robotics.
