About

Dr. Nahrul Khair Alang Md Rashid is a distinguished researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, intelligent control systems, and automation. His primary research areas include autonomous navigation, image processing, and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), with a strong focus on developing practical solutions for service robotics. His most cited work, "ANFIS-Based Navigation for HVAC Service Robot with Image Processing" (2013, 6 citations), presents a pioneering approach to autonomous navigation within heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducting systems. In this study, Dr. Rashid and his team employed a CCD camera mounted on a mobile robot to perform blob analysis, enabling the robot to distinguish duct openings from other structural features—a critical step toward fully autonomous HVAC maintenance. This contribution demonstrates his ability to bridge theoretical control methods with real-world engineering challenges. Beyond this notable paper, his research portfolio reflects a sustained commitment to advancing robotic perception and intelligent decision-making, with applications that promise to improve efficiency in building maintenance and industrial automation. Dr. Rashid’s work continues to inspire students and researchers interested in the practical deployment of intelligent robotics in complex, confined environments.
