About
Rachan Chaihan is a robotics researcher whose work bridges precision agriculture and industrial inspection. His primary research areas include autonomous navigation for agricultural robots, machine vision systems, and robotic inspection technologies. Chaihan’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering work on autonomous navigation for a rice field weeding robot, which integrates machine vision-based row guidance with GPS and compass-based routing. This system, detailed in his 2019 paper (96 citations), enables robots to navigate complex, unstructured agricultural environments without human intervention—a critical advancement for sustainable farming and labor reduction. In addition to agriculture, Chaihan has developed a generator inspection vehicle that eliminates the need for costly rotor removal during maintenance. His 2022 paper (9 citations) describes a robot capable of performing internal inspections of electrical generators, significantly reducing downtime and operational costs. By combining computer vision, sensor fusion, and robotic mobility, Chaihan’s work demonstrates how robotics can solve real-world challenges in both food production and energy infrastructure. His research continues to influence the design of autonomous systems for hazardous or labor-intensive tasks.
