About

Dr. Mohd Firdaus Ibrahim is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous mobile robot navigation, sensor fusion, and indoor mapping technologies. His work centers on developing innovative solutions for real-time spatial awareness in confined environments, particularly through the design and implementation of advanced ultrasonic sensing systems. Dr. Ibrahim’s most impactful contribution is the creation of the Ultrasonic Sensor Bank (USB-16), a hexadecagon-mounted array of sixteen 40 kHz ultrasonic sensors that enables mobile robots to perform both 2D and 3D mapping. His seminal 2016 paper on this system, which has garnered 12 citations, introduced a novel mapping approach combined with the NWA optimization algorithm, demonstrating significant improvements in environmental reconstruction accuracy. In related work, Dr. Ibrahim advanced indoor localization techniques by integrating the USB-16 with K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithms and Homogeneous Transformation Matrices for wall mapping, earning 6 citations. His research bridges the gap between low-cost sensor hardware and sophisticated computational methods, offering practical pathways for deploying autonomous robots in GPS-denied indoor settings. Dr. Ibrahim’s contributions continue to influence the fields of mobile robotics and sensor-based perception.
