About

Dr. Panida Lorwongtragool is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics and electronic sensing technologies, with a primary focus on developing portable electronic nose (E-nose) systems for precision agriculture. Her most cited work, "Development and application of electronic nose for agricultural robot" (2013, 12 citations), introduces a groundbreaking E-nose based on metal oxide gas sensors capable of detecting total volatile compounds in soil headspace and identifying the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella L.). By carefully selecting sensor elements to respond to a broad spectrum of volatiles—including both oxidizing and reducing compounds—Dr. Lorwongtragool has significantly advanced the integration of chemical sensing into autonomous agricultural robots. This innovation enables real-time, non-invasive monitoring of soil health and pest infestations, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and improving crop management. Her contributions bridge the gap between sensor technology and field robotics, offering scalable solutions for sustainable farming. With growing interest in smart agriculture, her work continues to inspire new applications in environmental monitoring and food security, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of agricultural automation.
