About

Richa Watiasih is a robotics researcher specializing in mobile robot navigation, environmental monitoring, and gait control systems. Her work focuses on developing autonomous robots for hazardous environments, particularly in gas detection and mapping applications. Her most cited paper, "Path planning mobile robot using waypoint for gas level mapping" (2017, 14 citations), introduced a GPS-equipped mobile robot capable of navigating dangerous locations to detect harmful gases, offering a safer alternative to human inspection. Building on this, her 2018 study "Online Gas Mapping in Outdoor Environment using Solar-Powered Mobile Robot" (5 citations) advanced the field by integrating renewable energy for extended autonomous operation in oil pipelines and industrial areas. More recently, Watiasih has explored legged robotics, with her 2021 work "Gait Control Applications on Four Legged Robot" (2 citations) addressing balance and obstacle negotiation challenges through adaptive gait control methods. Her research bridges practical environmental safety needs with innovative robotic solutions, demonstrating how mobile robots can replace static sensor networks for wide-area monitoring. Watiasih's contributions are particularly valuable for industrial safety applications, where her path planning and mapping techniques enable real-time gas leak detection in high-risk zones.
