About

Anton Royanto Ahmad is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on intelligent robotic manipulation, compliant end-effector design, and automated surface finishing processes. His research addresses one of the most persistent challenges in industrial robotics: enabling robots to accurately follow and interact with complex curved surfaces during precision machining operations such as polishing and blade sharpening. Ahmad's most significant contributions center on developing innovative solutions for real-time robot pose correction and normal contact estimation. His 2022 paper on compliant robotic end-effector design (18 citations) introduced a novel mechanism for maintaining consistent normal contact on geometrically unknown surfaces, while his companion work on real-time trajectory correction using 6-axis force/torque sensing (17 citations) demonstrated practical implementation of adaptive control strategies. His 2023 research expanded this foundation by proposing enhanced non-contact pose estimation approaches (10 citations) and applying these techniques to the industrially relevant problem of propeller blade sharpening using laser-vision sensors (6 citations). With a cumulative citation count exceeding 50 across his published works, Ahmad's research has garnered meaningful attention within the robotics and manufacturing automation communities. His interdisciplinary approach, combining sensing technology, mechanical compliance, and control algorithms, positions him as an emerging contributor to the advancement of intelligent industrial robotic systems.
