About

Pakorn Vongseela is a leading researcher in sustainable manufacturing and intelligent disassembly systems, with a focus on bridging the gap between automation and human expertise. His most-cited work, “A Process Demonstration Platform for Product Disassembly Skills Transfer” (2017, 41 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the circular economy: enabling robots to handle the unpredictability of end-of-life products. Vongseela pioneered a cognitive robotic disassembly framework that combines automated dismantling with targeted human assistance, effectively transferring skilled disassembly knowledge from human workers to machines. This hybrid approach reduces reliance on manual labor while maintaining adaptability to product variations, directly impacting the scalability of remanufacturing and recycling industries. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing Industry 5.0 principles, where human-robot collaboration drives sustainable production. With growing citation impact, Vongseela’s work continues to influence research on adaptive automation, skill transfer, and closed-loop manufacturing systems—offering practical solutions for reducing electronic waste and conserving resources.
