About

Watcharin Po-ngaen is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of robotics, tele-manipulation, and intelligent control systems. His primary research areas include bilateral tele-robotic control, neuro-fuzzy systems, and embedded robot controllers. Po-ngaen’s most significant contributions center on advancing the stability and maneuverability of master-slave robotic systems. His 2008 work on a neuro-fuzzy force-force bilateral scheme for six-degree-of-freedom tele-robotic control, which achieved increased system bandwidth through an open architecture controller, has garnered 4 citations. He further refined this approach in 2013 with an adaptive four-channel neuro-fuzzy bilateral control design, addressing critical deficiencies in conventional tele-manipulation systems. Po-ngaen also demonstrated practical innovation in 2016 by developing a low-cost, open-source controller for a Delta parallel robot using Raspberry Pi and FPGA technology. His foundational 2007 paper on the early development of remote tele-manipulation systems remains his most cited work with 7 citations. Through his research, Po-ngaen has consistently pushed the boundaries of tele-robotic control, making complex manipulation systems more robust, adaptive, and accessible.
