About

Carlo Santiago is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on human-robot interaction, assistive technology, and intelligent control systems. His key contributions span multi-sensor control interfaces, fuzzy logic navigation, and autonomous mobile robotics. His most cited paper, "Multi-sensor based glove control of an industrial mobile robot arm" (2017, 23 citations), introduces a wireless glove controller that enables safe, intuitive operation of a mobile robot and 6-axis arm for industrial tasks—a practical step toward human-robot collaboration. In "Interval Type-2 Fuzzy and PID Dual-Mode Controller for an Autonomous Mobile Robot" (2018, 8 citations), he advanced autonomous navigation by integrating type-2 fuzzy logic with PID control to handle environmental uncertainty. His work also addresses social impact: "A self-reliance assistive tool for disable people" (2018, 6 citations) combines an electric wheelchair with a robot arm controlled by hand postures, empowering elderly and disabled users. More recently, "Type-2 Fuzzy-Controlled Air-Cleaning Mobile Robot" (2025, 3 citations) applies his control expertise to environmental monitoring. Santiago’s research bridges theoretical control methods with real-world applications in industry, healthcare, and sustainability.
