Background
- Born in Nan, Thailand, in 1978
- Thai nationality, married
- Research interests: Embodied AI, machine learning for robotics, neural locomotion control of walking machines, biomechanics, dynamics of recurrent neural networks, learning/plasticity, embodied cognitive systems, prosthetic and orthopaedic devices, exoskeletons, brain-machine interface, human-machine interaction, service/inspection robots
- Long-term agenda: To understand how brain-like mechanisms including biomechanics can be realized in artificial agents so they can become more like living creatures in their level of performance
- Developed neural mechanisms for locomotion generation and adaptation in legged robots, e.g., dynamic biped walking robot 'RunBot' and adaptive animal-like robots 'AMOS'
