Projects
I integrated a LiDAR into a gantry crane prototype in the lab and developed a nonlinear model-based controller that outperformed other control algorithms.
My team and I developed two arrow-throwing robots for the 2021 Kontes Robot Indonesia, following the ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest rules.
Research & Publications
Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGCs) play a crucial role in container handling at seaports, requiring precise movement and minimal sway. This research explores a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for nonlinear RTGC control, aiming to improve positioning accuracy while reducing swing. To enhance performance, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grid Search are used for parameter tuning. The results show that the optimized SMC effectively controls the RTGC while minimizing chattering under various conditions.
Rubber Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGCs) are essential for efficient cargo handling at seaports, requiring automation to manage heavy traffic. This study explores Sliding Mode Control (SMC) for nonlinear RTGC control, focusing on trolley position, cable length, and sway reduction. The system integrates a nonlinear DC motor model, and the designed controller is tested under both constrained and unconstrained voltage conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed method ensures excellent control performance while accounting for actuator limitations.
My Experience
Internship At PT Indonesia Power Bali PGU (Power Generation Unit) | June - July 2022
At PT. Indonesia Power Bali PGU, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in instrumentation and control within a real power plant environment. Throughout the internship, I worked closely with the engineering team on essential maintenance and calibration tasks that directly impacted plant performance.
My responsibilities included calibrating thermocouples and RTDs, installing pressure transmitters, and testing I/P transducers. I also contributed to installing key sensors like proximity switches, oil mist detectors, and valve actuators on Engine 2. Each task required accuracy, safety awareness, and a solid understanding of the systems involved.
One of the most rewarding moments was participating in the post-overhaul startup, known as the “First Smoke,” where I assisted in safety module checks both offline and online. It was a real demonstration of how teamwork and technical precision come together in critical operations.
This internship allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge in a professional setting, improve my troubleshooting skills, and better understand the operational challenges in the energy sector.
