About

Erfan Rohadi is a robotics researcher focused on making intelligent, safe, and affordable robotic systems. His primary research areas include robot joint design, torque sensing, and mobile robot control, with a strong emphasis on practical, low-cost implementations. Rohadi’s most notable contribution is the development of a low-cost 3D-printed robot joint torque sensor (2018, 10 citations), a breakthrough that enables advanced robotic arms to work safely alongside humans by accurately measuring external forces. This work addresses a critical challenge in collaborative robotics—balancing cost with precise torque control. In mobile robotics, Rohadi has designed PID-based controllers for microcontroller-driven robots (2018) and developed a linear controller using pole placement for nonholonomic mobile robot trajectory tracking (2023). His 2023 paper presents a stable tracking control rule that computes feedback gains for driving, lateral, and angular control, ensuring robust path following. By combining accessible fabrication techniques with rigorous control theory, Rohadi’s research makes sophisticated robotics more attainable for labs and industries with limited budgets, directly advancing the field of safe human-robot collaboration.
