About
Leonardus A. Prasetya is a leading figure in the field of miniature robotics, with a core focus on bio-inspired locomotion and piezoelectric actuation. His most influential work centers on the development of tether-less, legged robots that achieve efficient, bidirectional motion through novel gait mechanisms. Prasetya’s seminal 2016 paper on a Legged Piezoelectric Miniature Robot (LPMR), which has garnered 35 citations, introduced a groundbreaking design that mimics the bounding gait of animals. By utilizing standing wave vibrations in a single piezoelectric patch and metal beam, his robot achieves propulsion without complex wiring or external power tethers. This contribution is pivotal for advancing autonomous micro-robots capable of navigating confined or unstructured environments. Beyond this key achievement, Prasetya’s research continues to push the boundaries of energy-efficient actuation and miniaturization, offering scalable solutions for applications in inspection, exploration, and biomedical devices. His work stands as a cornerstone for researchers seeking to merge biological principles with engineering precision in the next generation of agile, untethered robots.
