About

Thajid Ibna Rouf Uday is a robotics researcher focused on developing accessible, high-impact autonomous systems for planetary exploration and educational equity. His most notable contribution is the design and implementation of the next-generation Mars Rover “UIU,” a fully operational mobile platform featuring a modified rocker-bogie suspension and switched-mode power supply (SMPS) technology. This rover, detailed in his 2018 paper (11 citations), is engineered to traverse and analyze the Martian surface as a human assistant, performing scientific testing and analysis—a significant step toward affordable, student-led space robotics. Uday’s work also addresses social impact through EduBot (2019, 4 citations), an educational robot tailored for underprivileged children. By integrating feature extraction, image segmentation, and IoT-based data analysis, EduBot aims to democratize STEM learning, making robotics education accessible in resource-limited settings. His research bridges advanced mechatronics with inclusive design, demonstrating that cutting-edge technology can serve both extraterrestrial exploration and terrestrial education. With a growing citation footprint and a clear commitment to applied, humanitarian robotics, Uday is emerging as a thoughtful engineer whose work inspires both spacefaring ambition and grassroots educational change.
