About

Mohd Rodzi Ismail is a leading figure in the development of intelligent robotic systems for infrastructure maintenance, with a primary focus on soft robotics and pipeline inspection technologies. His most influential work, "Development of Pipe Inspection Robot using Soft Actuators, Microcontroller and LabVIEW" (2022, 9 citations), addresses a critical challenge in industrial pipeline transportation—navigating complex fittings like elbows and tees across varying pipe sizes and materials. By integrating soft actuators with microcontroller-based control and LabVIEW programming, Ismail has pioneered a non-destructive inspection approach that enhances safety and efficiency in long-distance fluid and gas transfer systems. His contributions bridge the gap between flexible robotic design and practical industrial application, offering a cost-effective solution for monitoring pipeline integrity. Beyond this flagship study, Ismail’s research portfolio consistently emphasizes the synergy between adaptive hardware and real-time software control, positioning him as an innovator in maintenance robotics. His work not only advances the field of soft robotics but also provides tangible tools for reducing operational risks in critical energy and utility infrastructures, making him a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring autonomous inspection systems.
