About

Pongsiri Kuresangsai is a rising figure in the field of robotic manipulation and precision manufacturing, with a focus on compliant mechanisms and intelligent tooling. His research bridges mechanical design and real-time process control, addressing critical challenges in automation. In his highly cited 2024 work, "Analysis and design optimization of a compliant robotic gripper mechanism with inverted flexure joints," Kuresangsai introduced a novel gripper design that leverages flexure-based compliance for enhanced adaptability and precision—a contribution that has already garnered 11 citations, signaling strong interest from the robotics community. He further advanced the state of the art in robotic drilling with his development of an active-thrust tool spindle featuring an integrated force measurement technique. This smart spindle, equipped with an active magnetic thrust bearing, enables real-time monitoring and control of drilling forces, significantly improving process reliability and quality. By combining mechanical innovation with embedded sensing, Kuresangsai’s work is paving the way for more autonomous and accurate robotic systems in manufacturing. His research is particularly relevant for students and engineers seeking to understand how compliant mechanisms and smart tooling can transform industrial automation.
