About

Noverina Alfiany is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on the kinematics and dynamics of autonomous three-wheeled vehicles, with a particular emphasis on the Indonesian "becak" (pedicab). Her research bridges traditional eco-friendly transportation with modern autonomous technology, aiming to transform these iconic human-powered vehicles into intelligent, self-driving platforms. Alfiany’s major contributions include deriving comprehensive kinematic and dynamic models for three-wheeled bicycle robots, laying the groundwork for their autonomous operation. Her most cited paper, "Kinematics and Dynamics Analysis of an Autonomous Three-wheeled Bicycle Modeling" (2019, 4 citations), establishes the fundamental motion equations for these vehicles, while her follow-up work, "Kinematics and Simulation Model of Autonomous Indonesian 'Becak' Robot" (2020, 3 citations), extends this analysis to create simulation models for autonomous control. Though her citation counts are modest, Alfiany’s work is notable for its cultural and practical significance—she is pioneering the automation of a vehicle deeply embedded in Indonesian urban life, potentially offering a sustainable, high-mobility solution for congested cities. Her research represents an important step toward modernizing traditional transport through robotics.
