About
Niken Lestari is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) design and implementation for marine exploration. Her most-cited work, "N3-AUV (Nusantara 3-Autonomous Underwater Vehicle): design and implementation for underwater exploration" (2020, 4 citations), details the development of a compact AUV equipped with thrusters, compass navigation, and onboard microprocessors for pre-programmed underwater missions. This research contributes to advancing low-cost, locally engineered AUV platforms for Indonesia's maritime needs, addressing challenges in underwater surveying and environmental monitoring. Lestari's work demonstrates practical innovation in integrating propulsion, control systems, and sensor feedback for reliable autonomous operation in shallow-water environments. While her citation count remains modest, her contributions are significant for regional capacity-building in marine robotics, offering a foundation for future AUV deployments in Southeast Asian waters. Her research highlights the intersection of mechanical design, embedded systems, and control algorithms, making her a notable figure in Indonesian underwater technology development.
