Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children suffer because they do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past.

I received a bachelor’s degree in robotics and automation engineering with

from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi. After graduation, I

always desire

have always desired

to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees oversea in a field related to robotics. My goal is to design a novel, world-class human-level

. I am proud to present that I am one of the best in my class since I have gained not only academic

knowledge

but

also

practical experience. I was elected to receive best bachelor’s thesis award.

Furthermore

, me and my teammates completed two difficult semester

projects

project

. Only certain people can finish them;

additionally

, our robots received the best performance. The curriculum is extremely intense because it was designed and taught by many lecturers who graduated from top-ranked universities. Combining several courses together as a module,

In addition

topics are introduced for

(

such

, adaptable

and optimal

control

). For four years, I have done numerous projects and

research

extended from these topics. While I was working on optical character and image recognition, I was aware that deep learning model

such

as

convolutional

following accepted customs and proprieties

conventional

neural network requires a large pool of training samples, which is very hard to get. I would like to make data acquisition get easier by using synthetic images

instead

and transfer the trained model to capture images;

however

performance

Suggestion

the performance

of the model dropped significantly. To deal with

this

problem, edge detection and

skeletonization

, inspired by the ways we recognize characters, were employed. I

then

received a feedback from

smoothly altered its gait according to slope of climbing surface. In my bachelor’s thesis, I worked with Dr.

Pitiwut

. He introduced me an amazing computation inspired by

characteristic

the characteristic

mechanism. The concentration rises after receiving stimulus, and slowly falls when there is no stimulation. There is an equilibrium state called homeostasis when decay rate is nearly equal to

production rate. Different scales of

stimulation lead

to specific equilibrium levels;

thus

this

are

to handle with noise or other stimulating signals that do not converge to zero after adaptation. I focused on designing an artificial

were taken to

this

:

First

Second

Third

. If the gecko
