About

Maria Helena Rocha de Alencar Bezerra is a dedicated researcher in the field of robotics and educational technology, with a primary focus on open-source simulation tools for autonomous systems. Her work centers on developing accessible platforms for teaching line-following robot principles, which serve as foundational concepts for broader autonomous technologies. Her most notable contributions include the creation of "SIMULADOR DE CÓDIGO ABERTO PARA A PLATAFORMA POLOLU 3PI" (2018) and its enhanced version, "3DJPi: An Open-Source Web-Based 3D Simulator for Pololu's 3Pi Platform" (2019). These simulators provide students and researchers with free, web-accessible environments to explore robotics fundamentals without requiring physical hardware. While her citation counts currently stand at 2 per paper, the practical impact of her work is significant in educational settings, where these tools lower barriers to entry for robotics education. Her simulators are particularly valuable for introducing autonomous technologies in both academic and industrial contexts. Bezerra's commitment to open-source development and web-based accessibility demonstrates her dedication to democratizing robotics education, making complex autonomous systems concepts tangible for learners worldwide.
