About

Muhamad Fairus Kamaruzaman is a design researcher whose work bridges cultural heritage and robotics, with a particular focus on the conceptualization of humanoid forms. His key research areas include design methodology, cultural metaphor in product development, and human-robot interaction. Kamaruzaman’s major contribution lies in his investigation of how metaphorical form elements can be systematically integrated into the design of humanoid robots, ensuring that cultural identity is preserved before product transformation. His most-cited paper, "Conceptual Design of COD-E Humanoid Robots" (2020), with 3 citations, explores the critical role of conceptualizing processes in enhancing designer creativity, particularly in form and styling development. This work highlights the often-overlooked intersection of cultural representation and robotic design, offering a framework for embedding intangible heritage into tangible artifacts. Kamaruzaman’s research is notable for its emphasis on the early stages of design, where cultural elements are translated into robotic aesthetics, a niche yet impactful area. His work serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in culturally informed design, humanoid robotics, and the creative processes that shape innovative product development.
