About

Thanakrit Maneekittichote is a researcher specializing in mobile robotics and wireless communication systems, with a particular focus on swarm navigation and coordination. His most-cited work, "Mobile Robot Swarm Navigation and Communication Using LoRaWan" (2020, 6 citations), introduces a novel algorithm for controlling group motion in multi-robot systems. In this study, he developed a fleet of four mobile robots, each driven by microcontrollers and electric motors, and enabled their communication through Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWan) technology. This contribution addresses key challenges in swarm robotics, such as decentralized control and reliable long-range communication, offering a practical framework for applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation. By integrating LoRaWan—a low-power, wide-area networking protocol—into robot swarms, Maneekittichote demonstrates how cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions can scale to real-world deployments. His work highlights the intersection of embedded systems, wireless networking, and collective robotics, providing a foundation for future studies in autonomous multi-agent coordination.
