About

Dony Hutabarat is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, and environmental monitoring. His work focuses on developing intelligent mobile robots capable of operating in hazardous or inaccessible environments, with a particular emphasis on LiDAR-based perception and obstacle avoidance. His most cited paper, "Lidar-based Obstacle Avoidance for the Autonomous Mobile Robot" (2019, 73 citations), addresses the limitations of conventional sensors in dangerous conditions, proposing a robust solution for safe robot navigation. Hutabarat further advanced this field in "2D mapping using omni-directional mobile robot equipped with LiDAR" (2020, 20 citations), demonstrating how omni-directional platforms can efficiently generate environmental maps for localization and object searching. More recently, his research has expanded into multi-robot systems for gas leak detection, as seen in "Heuristic Approach on Robot Formation to Find a Gas Leak Source" (2023), where robots equipped with stereo-nose gas sensors and LiDAR collaborate to locate pollution sources. With a growing citation impact, Hutabarat’s contributions are shaping the future of autonomous robotics in search-and-rescue, industrial inspection, and environmental safety applications.
