About
Siti Suhaila Sabarudin is a researcher specializing in terramechanics and mobile robotics, with a focus on improving wheeled rover performance on deformable terrains such as soft sand. Her work addresses the critical challenge of navigating steep, loose inclines—a key obstacle for planetary exploration and off-road robotics. Sabarudin’s major contributions center on the design and analysis of adjustable grousers (lugs) for lightweight robot wheels. Her 2019 study on the effects of grouser angle of attack demonstrated how varying this parameter can significantly enhance traction and climbing ability on soft sand under high-slip conditions. This research, cited 5 times, provides foundational insights for optimizing wheel geometry in real-world applications. A subsequent 2019 paper further explored adjustable grouser mechanisms, earning 3 citations. Though her citation counts are modest, Sabarudin’s work is notable for its practical, experimental approach to a niche but vital problem in field robotics. Her findings have implications for planetary rovers, agricultural robots, and disaster-response vehicles, making her a promising voice in terramechanics and adaptive locomotion.
