About

Stefanus Tjokro is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of nonlinear dynamical systems, with a particular focus on two-wheeled balancing robots. His major contributions lie in the practical implementation and evaluation of robotic chassis, demonstrating how complex control problems can be tackled using accessible, modular platforms. In his most cited work, "Design and evaluation of two-wheeled balancing robot chassis" (2011, 7 citations), Tjokro explores the construction of a balancing robot using Lego Mindstorm NXT bricks and an AVR ATMega16 microcontroller, bridging the gap between theoretical control theory and hands-on prototyping. A follow-up case study (2011, 4 citations) further refines this approach, emphasizing the use of Lego bricks as a cost-effective, repeatable testbed for nonlinear plant control. While his citation counts reflect a focused, early-career impact, Tjokro’s work is notable for its educational value—offering a clear, replicable methodology for students and researchers entering the field of mobile robotics. His research underscores the importance of chassis design in achieving stable, agile locomotion, making his contributions a valuable reference for those exploring balancing robot dynamics and embedded control systems.
