About
Zulfakri bin Mohamad is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on autonomous navigation and sensor-based path planning for mobile robots. His most notable contribution is the development of a point-to-point sensor-based path planning algorithm, which builds upon the classic Bug algorithm—a local planning methodology that enables robots to navigate toward a target using only limited environmental information. In this approach, the robot detects the nearest obstacle and follows its border as guidance, circumnavigating it until a clear path to the target emerges. This work, published in 2010, has garnered 3 citations and represents a foundational step in improving autonomous robot navigation in unknown or dynamic environments. While his citation count is modest, his research addresses a core challenge in robotics: enabling efficient, real-time obstacle avoidance without global maps. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring sensor-based navigation, local path planning, and the practical implementation of reactive algorithms in mobile robotics.
