About

Lafin Hari Prayudhi is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of wheeled mobile robots, with a particular focus on autonomous navigation and locomotion mechanisms. His most-cited paper, "Wall following control algorithm for a car-like wheeled-mobile robot with differential-wheels drive" (2015, 12 citations), presents a novel configuration that combines a car-like steering system with differential-wheel drive, enabling more precise and stable wall-following behavior. This contribution addresses a fundamental challenge in mobile robotics: achieving reliable, low-cost autonomous movement in structured environments. By detailing the system configuration, control algorithm, and experimental validation, Prayudhi’s work provides a practical framework for researchers and engineers developing service or inspection robots. His research bridges theoretical control methods with real-world hardware implementation, offering insights into sensor integration, motion planning, and actuator coordination. Though his citation count is modest, his work represents a foundational step in accessible, modular robot design—particularly valuable for educational and prototyping contexts. Prayudhi’s contributions continue to inform studies on differential-drive platforms and wall-following strategies, underscoring his role in advancing practical, low-cost autonomous navigation solutions.
