About

Supaphon Kamon is a robotics researcher whose work centers on reconfigurable and autonomous mobile robots, with a particular focus on innovative locomotion and control systems. Kamon’s most significant contribution is the development of a reconfigurable spherical robot series, most notably the "Reconfigurable Spherical Robot III," which can transform from a rolling sphere into a three-legged walking machine using an internal linear motor. This design, detailed in their most-cited paper (5 citations), addresses a key challenge in robotics: combining the speed and efficiency of rolling with the terrain adaptability of legged locomotion. A subsequent paper (3 citations) refined this concept, integrating three legs within hemispherical shells for compactness and stability. Beyond spherical robots, Kamon has explored accessible control interfaces, as demonstrated in their work on a line-follower delivery robot controlled via MIT App Inventor (3 citations), bridging robotics with user-friendly mobile applications. While still early in their career, Kamon’s research offers a compelling foundation for future work in multi-modal locomotion and practical, low-cost robotic systems.
