About

Andri Setiawan is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges low-cost agricultural automation and advanced mobile robotics. His most influential contribution, "A low-cost gripper for an apple picking robot" (2004, 36 citations), introduced a specialized, affordable gripper designed to harvest apples from orchard trees without damaging their delicate skin. This innovation directly addressed the practical challenges of agricultural robotics, balancing cost-effectiveness with the precision needed for fruit handling—a foundational step toward accessible robotic harvesting systems. Setiawan’s impact extends into mobile platform control with his work on "Position and Orientation Control of Three Wheels Swerve Drive Mobile Robot Platform" (2021, 8 citations), which tackles the complexities of agile, wheeled robot navigation. By developing control strategies for swerve drive systems, he has contributed to more versatile and responsive robotic platforms, relevant to both industrial and research settings. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Setiawan’s research demonstrates a commitment to solving real-world problems—from farm to factory—making him a notable figure in the evolution of practical, low-cost robotics.
