About

Made Wira Dhanar Santika is a robotics researcher whose work bridges traditional transportation design with autonomous vehicle technology. His primary research areas include mobile robotics, kinematics modeling, and autonomous vehicle systems, with a particular focus on adapting culturally significant transportation modes for modern automation. His most notable contribution is the development of the autonomous Indonesian "Becak" robot—a three-wheeled mobile robot inspired by the traditional Becak, a common form of transportation in developing countries. In his 2020 paper, Santika derived the kinematics and simulation model for this autonomous vehicle, establishing the fundamental mathematical framework necessary for its design and control. This work represents a novel approach to preserving cultural transportation heritage while advancing robotics technology. With 3 citations, his research has laid important groundwork for future developments in autonomous three-wheeled vehicles. Santika's innovative perspective demonstrates how robotics can be applied to solve region-specific transportation challenges, making him a distinctive voice in the field of autonomous mobile robotics.
