About
Torik’s research centers on mobile robot navigation, with a particular focus on developing novel control methods that address real-world challenges in autonomous movement. His major contribution is the introduction of the Mirror Petri Net method, a mathematically grounded approach that enables robots to execute precise, obstacle-aware navigation—even when movement commands must be reversed or mirrored, much like flipping a smartphone selfie to its original orientation. This innovative technique allows robots to navigate complex environments with multiple turn choices and successfully return to their starting points. Torik’s foundational papers, “Design of Navigation Mobile Robot Using Mirror Petri Net Method and Radio Frequency Identification” (2018) and “Mathematics base for mobile robot navigation using mirror petri net Method” (2019), each have garnered 7 citations, demonstrating steady interest from peers in robotics and control systems. His work stands out for bridging abstract mathematical modeling with practical, low-cost hardware integration using RFID, making advanced navigation more accessible. For students and researchers exploring bio-inspired or Petri net-based robotics, Torik’s research offers a clear, applied path to solving real-time motion planning in constrained environments.
