About

Joshua Tito Amael is a rising researcher at the intersection of robotics and open-source hardware, with a core focus on FPGA-based control systems for robotic manipulators. His most notable contribution, detailed in his 2024 paper "6-DOF Arm Robot Control Using Open-Source FPGA," demonstrates the feasibility of using resource-constrained, open-source FPGA tools—specifically Yosys and Nextpnr on the Lattice iCE40 HX1K—to implement a complete control system for a six-degree-of-freedom servo robot arm. This work is significant for advancing low-cost, accessible robotics by proving that even limited hardware can handle complex, real-time control tasks when paired with open-source development flows. While his citation count is currently modest at 2, the work represents a pioneering step in democratizing robotic control, offering a blueprint for students and makers to build sophisticated systems without proprietary software. Amael’s research promises to lower barriers in embedded robotics education and prototyping, making him a notable figure in the growing open-source hardware movement.
