About
Pholchai Chotiprayanakul’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, haptic teleoperation, and human–robot interaction, with a strong focus on solving real-world challenges in hazardous environments. His most influential work addresses the safe and precise control of industrial robots in complex settings, particularly for steel bridge maintenance tasks such as grit-blasting and sandblasting—operations that traditionally expose human workers to dangerous debris and toxic materials. His pioneering paper on workspace mapping and force control for haptic device-based robot teleoperation (39 citations) established foundational methods for scaling movements between small haptic interfaces and large manipulators. He further advanced the field with a 3-dimensional force field method for collision avoidance (26 citations) and a comprehensive robotic system design for steel bridge maintenance (21 citations), demonstrating how virtual force approaches can enable intuitive, safe remote operation. Chotiprayanakul’s work has been instrumental in making hazardous infrastructure maintenance safer and more efficient, with his research on haptic-based teleoperation and neural network control continuing to influence the development of cooperative and autonomous robotic systems.
