About

I Made Suandana Astika Pande is a researcher dedicated to the intersection of technology and cultural preservation, with a primary focus on Balinese script and language digitization. His most notable contribution is the development of "Pasang Aksara Bot," a Balinese script writing robot that employs a Finite State Automata transliteration method, enabling accurate conversion of Latin text into the traditional Balinese script. This work, published in 2019 with 14 citations, represents a pioneering effort to bridge ancient cultural heritage with modern robotics and computational linguistics. Pande's research addresses the critical need to document and preserve Balinese culture—a UNESCO-recognized world heritage—through technological innovation, making it accessible for educational purposes and future generations. By creating automated systems for script writing, he has laid foundational work for broader applications in cultural heritage preservation, language learning tools, and digital archiving. His contributions are particularly significant given Bali's status as a global tourism destination, where cultural authenticity faces pressures from modernization. Pande's work exemplifies how engineering and computer science can serve as powerful instruments for safeguarding intangible cultural assets.
