About
Pongsiri Borijindakul is a pioneering researcher in bio-inspired robotics, specializing in adhesive locomotion and terrain-adaptive systems for climbing and legged robots. His work centers on developing soft, versatile adhesive materials and synergistic robotic designs that enable stable movement on challenging surfaces, from smooth vertical glass to rough cylindrical structures. Borijindakul’s most cited paper, “Mini Review: Comparison of Bio-Inspired Adhesive Feet of Climbing Robots on Smooth Vertical Surfaces” (2021, 18 citations), provides a critical analysis of dry and wet adhesion technologies, establishing a foundational framework for climbing robot foot design. His innovative VENOM material (2021, 5 citations) introduces a durable, high-friction adhesive capable of adhering to both smooth and rough surfaces—a breakthrough that mimics gecko-like versatility. In “Synergy Between Soft Feet and an Active Tail to Enhance the Climbing Ability of a Bio-inspired Climbing Robot” (2024, 6 citations), he demonstrates how combining compliant feet with an active tail dramatically improves climbing stability and adaptability. Borijindakul also advances terrain classification using haptic feedback and reservoir computing neural networks (2019, 4 citations), enabling walking robots to intelligently distinguish between surfaces. His work on compliant robot feet with flexible tactile-array sensors (2018, 4 citations) further enhances legged robots’ ability to navigate complex cylindrical environments. With a growing citation impact, Borijindakul’s contributions are shaping the next generation of agile, surface-agnostic robots for inspection, maintenance, and exploration.
