About
Son Kuswadi is a leading figure in disaster robotics and autonomous mobile robot navigation, with a career spanning over two decades. His research focuses on developing intelligent, multi-locomotion robots capable of operating in hazardous environments, particularly for search and rescue after earthquakes and tsunamis. Kuswadi’s major contributions include pioneering the design of the “PENS-FlyCrawl,” a multi-locomotion robot that can both fly and crawl, adapting its morphology to navigate complex disaster zones. He has also advanced autonomous navigation by hybridizing fuzzy Q-learning with behavior-based control, enabling robots to learn and coordinate actions in cluttered, unknown environments. His work on SLAM and path planning using the A-Star algorithm for indoor disaster areas has garnered 24 citations, while his exploration of communication protocols like MQTT and CoAP for multi-robot coordination has been critical for efficient disaster response. Kuswadi’s notable achievements include the development of a hopping robot with a single linear actuator, demonstrating elegant control solutions for dynamic locomotion. With over 100 cumulative citations, his research continues to shape the future of resilient, autonomous robotic systems for disaster mitigation.
