About

S.M.S. Mohd Putra is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the design and control of specialized robotic systems for inspection and autonomous operation. His key research areas include leader-follower robotic control architectures and reconfigurable multi-legged locomotion for industrial applications. In his most cited work, a comprehensive review on controllers for leader-follower robotic systems (2019, 12 citations), he provides a systematic analysis of control strategies that enable coordinated movement between robots—a critical capability for multi-agent systems in manufacturing and hazardous environments. His second major contribution focuses on a reconfigurable multi-legs robot designed for pipe inspection (2019, 4 citations), where he developed a novel three-degrees-of-freedom (3DOF) platform capable of walking, climbing vertical pipes, and traversing horizontal sections. This work addresses the practical challenge of inspecting complex pipeline networks, demonstrating a robot that can adapt its gait to different orientations and surfaces. Though his citation counts are modest, Mohd Putra’s contributions are notable for their applied focus on real-world robotic challenges, bridging control theory and mechanical design to create functional inspection systems. His research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in field robotics, multi-robot coordination, and adaptive locomotion.
