About

Teeraya Prayongrak is a robotics and automation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of autonomous mobile systems, healthcare logistics, and human-robot interaction. With a focused research agenda centered on deploying intelligent robotic solutions in hospital environments, Prayongrak has made meaningful contributions to the field of service robotics, particularly in contexts where efficiency and safety are paramount. Among their most recognized contributions is a pioneering IoT-based framework for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in hospital logistics, which has garnered 27 citations and established a practical architecture for automating the delivery of food and medical supplies to patients. This work was complemented by a Unity-based simulation study exploring food delivery systems in in-patient wards, earning 15 citations. Demonstrating timely responsiveness to global health challenges, Prayongrak also led development of tele-operated mobile robots deployed in COVID-19 field hospitals, enabling remote patient interaction through cloud-based web applications — a project cited 9 times. More recent work addresses safety standards for cart-moving AMRs, reflecting a growing emphasis on safe human-robot coexistence. Collectively, Prayongrak's research represents a coherent and impactful effort to modernize hospital operations through intelligent robotics.
