TV Channel 9 covers tsunami project
On 19 May, TV Channel 9 crew came to cover AIT's Tsunami Tracking and Alerting System, project at the Mechatronics laboratory.

server at AIT.
During the video shooting, Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, dean of the School of Engineering and Technology, gave an interview on the project, followed by the demonstration the tsunami buoy system by Dr. Manukid Parnichkun of Mechatronics field of study. The demonstration highlighted automatic satellite tracking system and tide level reading. Then, Dr. Joydeep Dutta of Microelectronics field of study, introduced the concept of the novel AIT Tsunami nano pressure sensor. The coverage of the project was concluded with Prof. Worsak's showing the simulation results of Tsunami numerical analysis.
After filming the project, the TV crew also taped four robotics projects at Mechatronics lab as follows: Gyroscopic Unmanned Bicycle, Arm-Exoskeleton, Leg-Exoskeleton and Intelligent Vehicle.
The program will be separated into two five-minute segments on TV Channel 9. The first episode will be broadcast at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, 29 May 2006. (The broadcasting date for the second episode will be confirmed later.)
Sirawit Rungrattanaubol, a Mechatronics student, demonstrates how to control the arm exoskeleton.
Rattapon Paisalsawat, a Mechatronics student, demonstrates
how the leg exoskeleton moves following his leg.
