About

Arman Hadi Azahar is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on bio-inspired locomotion and autonomous systems. His primary research areas include central pattern generator (CPG) control for legged robots and the development of specialized service robots. Azahar’s major contributions lie in optimizing CPG controllers—neural circuits that produce rhythmic movements—for one-legged hopping robots. In his most cited work (2018, 4 citations), he pioneered the use of genetic algorithms to fine-tune CPG parameters integrated with conventional PI controllers, enabling more efficient and stable vertical hopping dynamics. His earlier foundational study (2013, 3 citations) established the core CPG-based vertical motion control for hopping robots, demonstrating how motor speed regulation through crank mechanisms could generate consistent hopping forces. Beyond legged locomotion, Azahar applied his control expertise to practical automation with the development of an autonomous sweeper robot for badminton courts (2016, 3 citations), addressing a real-world need for efficient court maintenance. His work bridges theoretical bio-inspired control with tangible robotic applications, offering valuable insights for students and researchers interested in CPG-based locomotion, evolutionary optimization, and service robotics.
