About

Billy Hendrik is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of robotics, control systems, and technology-enhanced education. His technical foundations are evident in his highly cited 2018 paper on modelling and experimental analysis of a two-wheeled self-balancing robot using PID controllers, demonstrating his grounding in robotics engineering and autonomous systems design. However, Hendrik's most sustained and impactful contributions lie in educational robotics, particularly exploring how platforms like Lego Mindstorms EV3 can cultivate 21st-century skills in students and teachers alike. His research consistently champions the role of robotic technology in stimulating figural creativity — encompassing originality, elaboration, flexibility, and fluency — among elementary and school-age learners. His 2020 study on figural creativity enhancement (20 citations) and his 2021 investigation into teacher acceptance of educational robotics (19 citations) reflect both his pedagogical depth and his attention to real-world implementation challenges in Industry 4.0 contexts. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 90 citations, Hendrik has established himself as a meaningful voice in STEM education research in Indonesia. His accessible 2023 Indonesian-language publication further highlights his commitment to broadening robotics awareness at the grassroots level.
