About
Kitti Thamrongaphichartkul is a robotics and automation researcher whose work centers on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), hospital logistics, and human-robot interaction. With a body of research spanning healthcare automation, teleoperation, and intelligent navigation, Thamrongaphichartkul has made meaningful contributions to the practical deployment of robotics in real-world environments. His most influential work, "A Framework of IoT Platform for Autonomous Mobile Robot in Hospital Logistics Applications" (2020, 27 citations), established a foundational approach to integrating AMRs within hospital supply chains, enabling automated delivery of food and medical supplies to patients. Building on this, his research on precision docking for battery charging (19 citations) addressed critical challenges in robot localization and operational continuity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his team developed both simulation tools and tele-operated robots deployed in field hospitals, demonstrating his commitment to applying robotics to urgent, real-world challenges. More recently, Thamrongaphichartkul has expanded into mobile manipulator systems, tackling complex problems such as autonomous door traversal using behavior trees and safe human-robot interaction for cart-moving applications. With over 80 cumulative citations, his research offers students and practitioners valuable insights into bridging robotic autonomy with practical healthcare and service industry needs.
