On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the ISE Special Lecture on Robotics was honored to host Prof. Tomonari Furukawa, Professor and Zinn Faculty Scholar at the University of Virginia, and Honorary Professor at Chulalongkorn University, as the distinguished guest speaker. Prof. Furukawa shared research findings from the VICTOR Laboratory covering a wide range of topics, including fully autonomous rescue robots, humanoid robots, aerial–ground robot collaboration, human front-following robots, state estimation under extreme acceleration, and his experiences leading teams in several renowned international competitions. These included Virginia Tech’s Team VALOR in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (2015) and Team VICTOR in the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) in 2017 and 2020. The session was organized by Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D., at ISE Robotics Lab.

Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D., head of ISE Robotics Lab, was invited by World Academy of Nursing Science (WANS) and the Nurses’ Association of Thailand to give a speech. Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D., head of ISE Robotics Lab, was invited by World Academy of Nursing Science (WANS), Thailand Nursing and Midwifery Council, and the Nurses’ Association of Thailand to give a speech, entitled “Robot in Healthcare”, in the 2nd International Nursing Research Conference, on December 2, 2025, at Miracle Grand Convention Hotel, Bangkok.

Congratulations to the ISE lecturers, researchers, and students for their remarkable participation at the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2025). Congratulations to the ISE lecturers, researchers, and students for their remarkable participation at the 18th International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe 2025). Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat demonstrated his invention, the “Wheelchair-Exoskeleton Hybrid Robot,” to Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. He also served as the Exhibition Co-Chair, Invited Keynote Speaker, and Session Chair for Biomechanics in Assistive Technology. Several ISE members presented their research papers at the conference: Mr. Nadol Pipattikanan (Robotics AI #1) presented his paper, “Real-time EMG-based assistive torque control on a powered elbow exoskeleton for weight-lifting support.” Mr. Phurin Liwcharoensakkul (ADME #4) presented his paper, “Electromagnetic brake with rotating field coil and armature for torque modulation under varying speed and load.” Mr. Thapanon Noochan (PMUC Researcher) presented his paper, “Climbing exoskeleton assisting shoulder extension during pull-up.” Mr. Sethapong Ketjit (ME Alumni) and Mr. Thanaphat Wachirakamchai (PMUC Researcher) presented their paper, “Development of dual force plate for real-time monitoring of ground reaction force during bridging exercise for rehabilitation.” All papers were supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat.
