Mohamad Fauzi Zakaria

About

Mohamad Fauzi Zakaria is a robotics researcher whose work bridges intelligent control systems, autonomous navigation, and educational robotics. His primary research areas include mobile robot navigation, fuzzy logic control, and embedded systems for real-time applications. Zakaria’s major contributions include developing a wall-following autonomous robot controlled by a fuzzy incremental controller (FIC) for applications like air duct cleaning, which has garnered 21 citations. He has also advanced path planning with an integrated RRT*SMART-A* algorithm, addressing convergence issues in static environments—a 2023 work already cited 9 times. His early work on 3WD omni-wheeled mobile robots using ARM processors for line following (6 citations) and Internet-based telerobotics control systems (2 citations) demonstrate his foundational impact. Notably, Zakaria created the “Arrow-bot,” an Arduino-based teaching tool for real-time embedded systems courses at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, implementing rate monotonic scheduling. This educational contribution, along with his technical innovations, underscores his commitment to both research advancement and student learning. With a career spanning over two decades, Zakaria continues to shape autonomous robotics and embedded systems education.
