About

Thanakon Uthai is a rising researcher at the forefront of robotic teleoperation and human-machine interaction, with a focus on transforming hazardous and labor-intensive industries. His work bridges the gap between rigid and soft object manipulation, a critical challenge in sectors like construction and subsea exploration. Uthai’s most cited paper, “Haptics-Based Robot Teleoperation for Soft Object Manipulation” (2025, 7 citations), tackles the complexities of handling deformable materials—a problem often overlooked in traditional systems. He further explores the future of automation in “Opportunities, Challenges and Roadmap for Humanoid Robots in Construction” (2025, 3 citations), addressing labor shortages and safety concerns. His comprehensive review, “Human-Machine Interfaces for Subsea Telerobotics: From Soda-straw to Natural Language Interactions” (2024, 2 citations), charts the evolution of control interfaces from narrow-field cameras to advanced gesture and VR systems. Together, these works highlight Uthai’s commitment to making robots more intuitive and capable in unstructured environments, positioning him as a key voice in the next generation of telerobotics and construction automation.
