Legacy of FIBO
Dr. Laowattana’s research is primarily in the fundamental area of robotics dexterity and design for manufacturing/assembly. Assembly represents the largest area of direct and indirect cost in most manufactured products. It is well known that assembly of non- axisymmetric parts exhibit a high level of difficulty. He has invented an assembly hand that helps automated assembly systems to effectively assemble parts featuring one of the most ubiquitous assembly primitives: prismatic insertion. This practical device represents one aspect of his on-going work in Compliance theory. The high level of skill is required to maneuver present-day, flexible
Dr. Laowattana proposed a new class of safer, more easily controlled mechanism. He is now extending the capability of such mechanism to precision surgery i.e. operation of brain tumor. His interest also includes robotic hip replacement as well as a new haptic interface for medical virtual reality.
