About

Fitri Arofiati is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work centers on autonomous mobile robots for healthcare applications. Her key research areas include trajectory tracking control, odometry-based navigation, and the development of service robots for medical environments. Arofiati’s most notable contribution is the design of a PID-based control system with odometry for a four-wheel omnidirectional Covid-19 aromatherapy robot, which delivers vaporized essential oils or drugs to help prevent and treat respiratory infections. This work, published in 2021 and cited 18 times, addresses the critical need for contactless inhalation therapy during the pandemic by enabling precise, stable movement of the robot through indoor spaces. By integrating classical PID control with real-time odometry feedback, she achieved reliable trajectory tracking for a UGV platform that can navigate hospital wards autonomously. Arofiati’s research bridges control engineering and public health, demonstrating how low-cost, robust robotics can support infection control and patient care. Her work is especially relevant for students and researchers interested in mobile robot control, medical robotics, and the application of automation to global health challenges.
