About

Ekawati Prihatini is a researcher at the forefront of integrating robotics and smart systems to address pressing environmental and social challenges. Her primary research areas span environmental monitoring, socially assistive robotics, and educational technology. Prihatini’s most impactful work, "Garbage Monitoring and Warning System" (2019), with 18 citations, introduces a mobile-based solution for real-time garbage capacity monitoring, aiming to mitigate environmental hazards from overflowing waste. This contribution is complemented by her development of the G-Bot, a wireless-controlled garbage robot designed to encourage proper waste disposal habits. In the realm of assistive technology, her 2024 paper on speech recognition for emotion regulation in socially assistive robots targets children with autism, employing Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy to foster emotional management. Prihatini also engages in educational outreach, as seen in her work introducing iPad-controlled robot operations to students at SMPIT Harapan Mulia Palembang. Her research, though early in citation accumulation, demonstrates a clear commitment to practical, human-centered innovations that bridge technology and societal well-being, making her a promising voice in sustainable robotics and inclusive design.
