In EEC, we provide opportunities for students to work on industrial consultancy projects, using their skills to build robots that solve real engineering problems.
We hire students with strong technical abilities as paid assistants on our development team. For graduates, this hands-on experience provides a real advantage when applying for jobs.
Our CLP Generator Inspection Robot team won the Thailand Award for Best International Invention & Innovation and a Gold Medal at the 51st International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva. Click here to learn more.
CLP Generator Inspection Robot
For this project, we have built a thin robot capable of autonomously inspecting the stator EM core imperfection without the need to dismantle the generator core.
This innovation significantly reduces maintenance costs and enhances the efficiency of inspection processes.
Expensive Manual Maintenance Procedures
The traditional inspection procedures include a complex disassembly process to remove the heavy rotor module, enabling engineers to conduct tests on the EM cores and rotor cores.
Manual Inspection by Engineers
CLP engineers inspect the EM core for different electromagnetic and mechanical properties, including inductance and mechanical cracks, among others.
Our Robot Inspecting the EM Core Inside
We send our robot inside the generator to conduct fully automated inspections, allowing engineers to monitor the generator's internal surfaces through various camera views.
Valuable Experiences with Real Engineering Problems
Our students benefit from valuable experiences by contributing to projects that address real engineering problems in the power generation industry.
Autonomous Robotic Inspection for Aircraft Fuel Tanks
In collaboration with the Aviation Services Research Centre (ASRC), this project aims to develop a continuum robot system for autonomous inspection of aircraft fuel tanks.
Eliminating dangerous manual operation and improved inspection efficiency via a fully-automatic continuum robotic platform.
Induction Thermography Inspection
We adopt a non-distructive inspection method using induction local heating and a thermo-camera capturing the thermal signal which represents the heat conductivities on the target surface. Therefore mirco-cracks can be identified.
Hardware Development of Continuum Robot
We designed and build a hardware prototype to evaluate various driving mechanisms and endurance testing.
Industrial Experiences with Internships and WIE
-Outstanding students can be selected for paid internships (PT during term time) in the next project phase.
-Hands-on experience with industry partners.
-Financial support and professional growth.
-Project experience can count towards WIE requirements.
