About
Iwan Kurnianto Wibowo is a robotics and computer vision researcher affiliated with Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS), Indonesia, whose work sits at the intersection of intelligent systems, autonomous robots, and educational technology. He is best known for his extensive contributions to the ERSOW (EEPIS Robot Soccer on Wheeled) project, a competitive Middle Size League robot soccer platform developed at PENS for the prestigious RoboCup international competition. His research has produced significant advances in ball detection under varying lighting conditions, omnidirectional camera-based field feature recognition, and multi-sensor pose estimation through data fusion of encoders, inertial sensors, and image data — work that has collectively garnered over 80 citations. Beyond robot soccer, Wibowo made a notable early impact with his trash detection and classification system for smart robotic bins (47 citations), demonstrating the real-world applicability of computer vision in smart public infrastructure. His contributions extend further into mobile path planning using genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic, as well as educational robotics platforms designed to lower programming barriers for young learners. Across his body of work, Wibowo consistently bridges rigorous engineering research with practical, accessible applications, making him a valuable figure in Southeast Asia's growing robotics research community.
