About

Arsit Boonyaprapasorn is a leading figure in the development of specialized climbing and inspection robots for industrial infrastructure. His research centers on mechatronics and robotics, with a particular focus on creating autonomous systems capable of navigating challenging, ferromagnetic environments. Boonyaprapasorn’s major contributions include the design of an innovative in-pipe inspection robot that integrates permanent magnets with omnidirectional wheels, enabling seamless horizontal and vertical locomotion within ferromagnetic pipelines ranging from 5-inch diameters to flat plates. This work, his most cited (19 citations), addresses a critical need for versatile internal pipe inspection. He also pioneered a prototype climbing robot for inspecting water wall tubes in boilers, which uniquely employs an electro-magnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) probe to measure tube wall thickness without requiring scale removal. This achievement, with 12 citations, directly enhances safety and efficiency in power plant maintenance. Through these practical, application-driven designs, Boonyaprapasorn has made a tangible impact on non-destructive testing and industrial robotics, offering robust solutions for inspecting hard-to-reach, hazardous structures.
