About

Nur Hamid is a robotics researcher focused on the design and autonomous control of three-wheeled vehicles, specifically the iconic Indonesian “becak” or pedicab. His work bridges traditional eco-friendly transportation with modern autonomous systems, aiming to transform these human-powered vehicles into intelligent, self-driving platforms for urban mobility. Hamid’s key contributions include the kinematic and dynamic modeling of autonomous three-wheeled bicycles, as detailed in his most-cited paper, “Kinematics and Dynamics Analysis of an Autonomous Three-wheeled Bicycle Modeling” (2019, 4 citations), which lays the groundwork for understanding vehicle motion and control. He further advanced this research in “Kinematics and Simulation Model of Autonomous Indonesian ‘Becak’ Robot” (2020, 3 citations), proposing a novel design and deriving essential kinematic models for autonomous navigation. Though his citation counts are modest, Hamid’s work is notable for its cultural and practical relevance—reimagining a ubiquitous Southeast Asian vehicle for the future of smart, sustainable transport. His research offers a unique intersection of robotics, local engineering, and environmental innovation, providing a foundation for students and engineers interested in autonomous vehicle design in developing contexts.
