About

Sarucha Yanyong is a robotics researcher focused on advancing autonomous mobile robot navigation and localization in complex, real-world environments. Their work spans outdoor and industrial settings, with key contributions in sensor fusion, energy efficiency, and search-and-rescue robotics. Yanyong’s most cited paper, “Localization for Outdoor Mobile Robot Using LiDAR and RTK-GNSS/INS” (2024, 7 citations), demonstrates a robust approach to outdoor positioning by integrating LiDAR with high-precision GNSS and inertial navigation systems. In industrial applications, they tackled localization errors in cleanroom production lines by fusing LiDAR with iBeacon technology, significantly improving robot accuracy in environments where similar sensor data can cause misplacement. Yanyong also developed an autonomous hexapod robot for disaster response, featuring AI-driven human detection and tracking to navigate challenging terrains and locate survivors. Additionally, their work on energy prediction using recurrent neural networks addresses battery management for cleanroom differential drive robots, optimizing power consumption and task scheduling. With a growing citation record and practical innovations spanning localization, energy efficiency, and humanitarian robotics, Yanyong is making impactful strides toward more reliable and intelligent autonomous systems.
