About

Nur Shahida Roslin is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design, development, and application of inspection robots for confined and hazardous industrial environments. She has made significant contributions to the field of in-pipe and boiler inspection robotics, particularly through her highly cited 2012 review paper, "A Review: Hybrid Locomotion of In-pipe Inspection Robot," which has accumulated 97 citations and remains a foundational reference for engineers and researchers developing multi-mechanism robotic platforms. Her research systematically categorizes hybrid locomotion strategies that combine two or more propulsion mechanisms to achieve both robustness and flexibility in pipeline navigation. Beyond theoretical contributions, Roslin has demonstrated a strong commitment to applied engineering. Her work on the "LS-01" boiler header inspection robot, developed in collaboration with Malaysian utility giant Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), addresses real-world challenges in thermal power plant maintenance, where inspecting thick-walled, enclosed boiler headers presents considerable safety and access difficulties. Her team's development of 3D simulation environments using Webots further highlights her interdisciplinary approach, bridging physical robotics with virtual testing frameworks. With a focused and practical body of work, Roslin has established herself as a meaningful contributor to industrial inspection robotics in the Southeast Asian engineering research community.
