About

Dr. Hasmah Mansor is a leading researcher in autonomous robotics and maritime search and rescue systems. Her work focuses on developing intelligent robotic platforms to enhance the safety and effectiveness of emergency response operations, particularly in hazardous aquatic environments. Her most cited paper, "Autonomous surface vessel for search and rescue operation" (2021, 17 citations), addresses a critical gap in disaster response by proposing unmanned surface vessels that can replace human crews in dangerous missions. This research directly tackles the tragic incidents where well-trained search and rescue personnel have lost their lives during operations in deepwater, lakes, and coastal zones. Dr. Mansor's contributions are pioneering the integration of autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and victim detection algorithms into marine robotics, reducing human risk while improving operational efficiency. Her work has significant implications for disaster management agencies and maritime safety organizations worldwide. By advancing autonomous surface vessel technology, Dr. Mansor is helping to transform search and rescue from a high-risk human endeavor into a safer, technology-enabled operation that saves more lives.
