About

Zhulia Jamal Omar is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, sensor systems, and educational technology. Her most influential contribution, the 2016 paper "Obstacle-avoiding robot with IR and PIR motion sensors," has garnered 53 citations, establishing her as a key figure in the development of accessible, sensor-driven robotic platforms. In this work, Omar designed, constructed, and programmed an obstacle-avoiding robot that integrates infrared (IR) and passive infrared (PIR) motion sensors, enabling it to navigate environments by detecting and circumventing obstacles in real time. This project was explicitly conceived for educational and research purposes, offering a low-cost, practical tool for teaching robotics and sensor integration. By demonstrating how dual-sensor fusion can enhance autonomous navigation, Omar's research has provided a foundational model for subsequent studies in mobile robotics and human-robot interaction. Her work continues to inspire students and researchers seeking to bridge theoretical concepts with hands-on, real-world applications, making her a notable contributor to the field of embedded systems and robotics education.
