About

Nur Safwati Mohd Nor is a researcher advancing the intersection of robotics and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. Her primary research areas include robotic charging systems for electric vehicles, human-robot interaction, and mechatronic design for environmental monitoring. Her most significant contribution is the development of the RoCharg-v1, a robotic charging station manipulator, where she has investigated critical design elements such as IMU sensor positioning for angle measurement accuracy and counterweight mechanisms using rotary springs for prismatic joints. Her 2023 review paper, "A review of robotic charging for electric vehicles," has garnered 13 citations, establishing a foundational overview for this emerging field. In human-robot interaction, she has developed novel approaches for tracking and estimating user pointing direction in 3D space, enabling more natural communication between humans and service robots. Her work on characterizing plugging and unplugging processes for EV charging connectors through force/torque measurements (2024) addresses practical challenges in automated charging. Additionally, she contributed to the design of the Aqua Sense Robot, a prototype for in-situ automatic water quality monitoring. Her research demonstrates a commitment to solving real-world problems through innovative robotic solutions, from sustainable transportation to environmental monitoring.
