About
Maryna Derkach is a robotics researcher whose work centers on autonomous navigation and sensor-based control for small-scale mobile platforms. Her most cited paper, "Obstacle Avoidance Algorithm for Small Autonomous Mobile Robot Equipped with Ultrasonic Sensors" (2020), with 16 citations, introduces a novel algorithm that enables real-time obstacle detection and avoidance using just four ultrasonic sensors and a microcontroller. This contribution addresses a critical design requirement for autonomous mobile robots—efficient, low-cost localization in constrained environments. Derkach’s approach improves the robot’s ability to navigate dynamically, making it particularly valuable for educational robotics, swarm systems, and compact service robots. Her research bridges practical hardware limitations with intelligent software solutions, demonstrating how minimal sensor suites can achieve robust performance. By focusing on small, resource-constrained platforms, Derkach’s work has implications for accessible robotics development and real-world deployment in cluttered spaces. Her algorithm stands as a key reference for engineers and students seeking efficient, scalable obstacle avoidance strategies.
