About

Dr. Thanasak Mouktonglang is a leading researcher in robotics and electrical power systems engineering, with a primary focus on developing autonomous solutions for critical infrastructure. His most impactful work addresses the high-risk, labor-intensive field of high voltage power line maintenance and inspection. In his highly cited 2019 paper, "High Voltage Power Line Maintenance & Inspection by Using Smart Robotics" (20 citations), Dr. Mouktonglang introduces an innovative robotic system designed to perform conductor stringing and overhead line inspection. This pulling robot travels along an overhead ground wire (OHGW), autonomously towing a pilot rope through stringing blocks—a task traditionally requiring dangerous manual labor. By automating this process, his research significantly enhances worker safety, operational efficiency, and reliability in power grid maintenance. Dr. Mouktonglang’s contributions bridge the gap between advanced robotics and practical utility applications, offering scalable solutions for modernizing aging electrical infrastructure. His work stands as a vital reference for engineers and researchers developing smart, robotic tools for the energy sector, demonstrating a clear pathway toward safer, more resilient power systems.
