About

Hermawan Kresno Dipojono is a leading Indonesian researcher whose work bridges engineering, robotics, and cultural heritage. His primary research areas include intelligent robotic systems, human-robot interaction, and the application of technology to preserve and innovate traditional arts. His most notable contribution is the development of an interactive angklung robot, which integrates gesture recognition to allow a conductor to command the robot using the same hand signs traditionally used to lead human players of this iconic Indonesian bamboo instrument. This work, published in 2013, has garnered 7 citations and stands out for its novel fusion of cultural preservation with cutting-edge robotics. By enabling a robot to interpret musical gestures, Dipojono has opened new pathways for human-robot collaboration in performance settings, demonstrating how technology can both honor and extend cultural practices. His research not only advances the field of interactive robotics but also serves as an inspiring model for using engineering to sustain intangible cultural heritage, making him a pivotal figure in Indonesia’s growing contribution to global robotics and human-computer interaction.
