BBC Thai talksเล่นสล็อตwith Ajarn Dr. Shane Triratanakunchai. Thai robotic researcher, one of the Soft Robotic research team at Imperial College London and a lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Mahidol University

The perfect answer for the expectation of parents
Dr. Chen was born into a Chinese family. His parents expected him to graduate from high school to become a doctor or an engineer. However, he knows that he is not good at medicine. But he loved playing with Legos since he was a kid. Dreaming of growing up in the field of engineering more After graduating high school He chose to take the entrance exam in the Faculty of Engineering. Department of Biomedical Engineering of Mahidol University

What is biomedical engineering?
Many people may wonder what biomedical engineering is. Shane describes it as a fusion of many disciplines. Both in engineering, science and medical science. to lead to solving various problems in medicine It is a supplement to make patients have a better quality of life.

The first year will be the beginning of learning the basics of science. When the year is higher, there will be reinforcements in engineering. including medical aspects such as physiology and anatomy causing him to get involved with "Principal" or the corpse that was donated for education Like those studying medicine, nursing

“We feel that this is our way. We had fun with it,” Shane said about his happiness in studying in this faculty. The science that Shane is particularly interested in is Surgery Robot or surgical robot.

One of the Soft Robotic research teams in London.
After completing a bachelor's and master's degree At Mahidol University, Chain received a scholarship from the Ministry of Science. to study at the doctoral level at Imperial University College, London, England, in 2017. It was here that he was given the opportunity to conduct a soft robotic research called Robogast.

Shane explains that Soft Robotic is a robot that has the ability to change shape according to its surroundings. allowing it to enter the complex organs of the human body Including having a soft appearance This can help reduce pain in the patient. Different from today's surgical robots Most of them are solid.

Even now Shane's Robogast is in its early stages of development. However, he expected that this will be the beginning of knowledge that may have someone to pick up and use and can be further developed to make it happen

dream of making a surgical robot skilled by Thai people
Currently, after graduating with a Ph.D. From Imperial College Chain, came back to work in Thailand. as a lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Engineering Mahidol University to pass on the knowledge he has to the new generation

He hopes to make robotics research circles in Thailand develop. with the highest hope that Thailand will have the first surgical robot skilled by Thai people
