About

Petrus Santoso is a robotics researcher focused on assistive technologies for elderly care and autonomous mobile robot navigation. His work centers on developing practical, human-centered robotic systems that enhance safety and independence for aging populations. Santoso’s most cited paper, “Towards Autonomous Robot Application and Human Pose Detection for Elders Monitoring” (2022, 5 citations), introduces a system that integrates robots, smart homes, and smartwatches to detect abnormal vital signs or poses in elders, automatically alerting caregivers via email—a contribution that addresses the growing preference for aging in place. He also advanced telepresence robotics by proposing an open protocol framework (2015, 3 citations), enabling researchers to build interoperable systems without starting from scratch, and developed an odometry algorithm with obstacle avoidance for mobile robot navigation (2016, 3 citations), improving autonomous movement in dynamic environments. Though his citation counts are modest, Santoso’s work demonstrates a clear trajectory toward accessible, real-world robotics solutions, with his elder-monitoring research highlighting a timely intersection of AI, sensor fusion, and human-robot interaction. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring affordable, scalable assistive robotics.
