About
Pandu Sandi Pratama is a robotics researcher whose work spans path planning, autonomous navigation, and inspection robotics. His most influential contribution is the experimental comparison of A* and D* Lite path planning algorithms for differential-drive automated guided vehicles (28 citations), which provided practical insights for real-time navigation in industrial settings. He has also made significant advances in pipe inspection robotics, designing a wheeled-type robot capable of navigating 300–500 mm diameter pipes with multiple elbows (23 citations), and developing a fuzzy logic controller for diameter-adjustable pipe inspection (4 citations). Pratama’s work on six-legged robots includes object tracking and following using Kinect cameras, integrating Kalman filters and backstepping controllers (14 citations), and gait planning with central pattern generators (2 citations). He has also addressed the challenging problem of minimizing overlapped paths and turning numbers for underwater mining robots operating on uneven terrain (13 citations). His research demonstrates a consistent focus on combining sensing, control, and planning to enable robots to operate effectively in constrained and unstructured environments, from industrial pipes to ocean floors.
