About

Kharisma Agung Pambudi is a researcher advancing assistive and biomimetic robotics, with a focus on restoring hand function for individuals with disabilities. His most cited work, “Extra Robotic Thumb and Exoskeleton Robotic Fingers for Patient with Hand Function Disability” (2017, 10 citations), introduces a wearable robot designed to enhance grasping ability for those who have lost hand function. This innovation addresses a critical gap in developing countries, where manual and passive tools remain the standard for prosthetics and orthotics. Pambudi’s contributions extend to myoelectric prosthetic hands, as shown in his 2019 study (6 citations), which tests finger performance in 3D-printed bionic hands, exploring mechanisms, actuators, and power efficiency. He also explores biomimetic locomotion with an 18-degree-of-freedom salamander robot (2019, 2 citations), using central pattern generators for straight-forward walking. By combining practical rehabilitation solutions with bio-inspired design, Pambudi’s work impacts accessible robotics, with his papers collectively cited over 20 times. His research not only advances wearable technology for disability support but also bridges mechatronics and biology, offering scalable solutions for low-resource settings.
