About

Khoirul Anam is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on embedded vision systems and autonomous robot behavior, particularly in the context of robot soccer. His key research area lies at the intersection of low-cost hardware integration and computer vision for small-scale robotics. Anam’s most notable contribution is his pioneering approach to integrating the Pixy CMUcam5—an affordable, color-based vision sensor—with the Bioloid robot platform, specifically its CM-530 controller. This work, detailed in his 2017 paper “Integrating embedded color vision to Bioloid robot for playing soccer,” addresses a critical challenge: enabling sophisticated color detection and object tracking on a budget-friendly platform. By successfully connecting the Pixy camera to the Bioloid’s embedded system, Anam demonstrated that high-performance vision capabilities could be achieved without expensive proprietary modules like the Havimo. His research has practical implications for educational robotics and competitive leagues, making advanced vision more accessible. With 8 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent studies in low-cost robot vision and soccer-playing autonomy. Anam’s work exemplifies how clever hardware-software integration can democratize robotics research, empowering students and hobbyists to build intelligent, vision-guided robots.
