Narong Aphiratsakun

About

Narong Aphiratsakun is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the dynamic balancing and control of novel robotic systems. His major contributions lie in the development of exoskeletons and unique balancing robots, with a particular focus on applying the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) theorem to ensure stable locomotion. His most cited work, "ZMP based gait generation of AIT's Leg Exoskeleton" (18 citations), established a foundational approach for safe walking in the AIT Leg EXoskeleton (ALEX), a 12-DOF system. He further extended this research into gait generation and the design of the ALEX-I platform. Beyond exoskeletons, Aphiratsakun has pioneered a series of innovative self-balancing platforms, including the "AU ball on plate balancing robot" (13 citations), the "AU balancing ballbot (AUB³)" (6 citations), and the "Autonomous AU Bicycle: Self-Balancing and tracking control (AUSB²)" (5 citations). These projects demonstrate his versatility in applying control theory—from PID controllers to neural networks—to solve complex stability problems. His work has laid important groundwork for assistive and autonomous mobile robotics.
