About

Irma Wani Jamaludin is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on intelligent autonomous systems, particularly in mobile robotics and dexterous manipulation. Her research spans automatic parking systems for nonholonomic mobile robots, underactuated robotic hand design, and precision control for industrial applications. In her most-cited work (12 citations), she developed a backward automatic parallel parking system using ultrasonic sensors, rotary encoders, and a novel path planning algorithm—addressing a practical challenge in autonomous vehicle navigation. She further advanced robotic manipulation through the optimization of a 3D-printed underactuated dexterous robotic hand (UDRH) with three fingers and two degrees of freedom per joint, analyzing material properties and design efficiency. Her studies on positioning control performance highlight the critical need for accuracy and stability in robotic hands intended for hazardous industrial environments, such as those with high chemical exposure. By integrating sensor-based control, mechanical optimization, and real-world application requirements, Jamaludin’s work contributes to safer, more capable robotic systems for both mobile and manipulation tasks.
