About

Nurulaqilla Khamis is a robotics researcher dedicated to environmental conservation through intelligent autonomous systems. Her primary research areas span aquatic robotics, artificial intelligence, and environmental monitoring, with a focus on developing practical solutions for waterway and marine ecosystem preservation. Her most impactful work, "Development of Water Surface Mobile Garbage Collector Robot" (2021), with 17 citations, introduces a prototype robot designed to empower communities in monitoring river health by autonomously collecting floating trash in small-scale lakes. This innovation bridges public engagement with robotic technology, making environmental stewardship accessible. More recently, Khamis has advanced the field with "Synergizing Underwater Robotics and AI: A Tethered ROV and YOLOv7 Approach to Giant Clam Detection" (2025), integrating YOLOv7 object detection with a tethered remotely operated vehicle to automate the identification of giant clams—a critical step for marine biodiversity monitoring. Her work exemplifies the synergy of robotics and AI for ecological applications, offering scalable tools for citizen science and conservation. Khamis’s contributions highlight her commitment to leveraging technology for environmental sustainability, inspiring future researchers to explore the intersection of robotics and ecological health.
