About
Bambang Sumantri is a robotics researcher specializing in nonlinear control systems for autonomous mobile robots, with a particular focus on balancing and locomotion in challenging environments. His work bridges theoretical control methods and practical robotic applications, addressing the inherent instability and nonlinearity of two-wheeled balancing robots, underwater vehicles, and humanoid platforms. His most cited paper (11 citations) introduces a fuzzy logic and PID-based controller for a two-wheeled line-following balancing robot on sloping surfaces, demonstrating robust distance control using rotary encoders. He further advanced this domain with sliding mode control (SMC) based on Lyapunov analysis, offering superior disturbance rejection for highly nonlinear systems. Sumantri’s contributions extend to underwater robotics, where he designed a variable ballast mechanism for depth positioning of spherical underwater vehicles, and to industrial automation with a double-loop SMC-PID controller for four Mecanum-wheel AGVs. His sensor fusion algorithm for humanoid robot balancing on slopes showcases his versatility in gait control and center-of-gravity shifting. With a cumulative citation count of 29 across his key works, Sumantri’s research provides practical solutions for real-world robotic stability and mobility, making him a notable figure in control engineering and autonomous systems.
