Sophon Somlor received his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering from King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand in 2008 and his Master of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering from Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand in 2011. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree at Waseda University, Japan. His research interests cover various field of robotics. His Bachelor's thesis was to develop a 6-dof articulated robot arm with his colleagues to perform several pick and place tasks (including pouring water from a plastic bottle). His master's thesis was about developing a single legged hopping robot using tendon driven system, spring loaded leg and electromagnetic clutch. Finally, his recent work is about the development of multi-axis tactile sensor for robotics hands and arms for a safe and reliable interaction with human and environment at Sugano Lab, Waseda University, Japan.
