When I was in my master degree course in Thailand, my advisor, he had studied in Japan as MEXT scholarship student, recommended me to study in Japan for doctoral course. And my wish was to study about robots, especially nursery robots; they can help people such as handicapped people. Waseda developed a nursery robot, TWENDY-ONE, so, that is my topic. And at the Japan Educational Fair in Thailand, I went to the Waseda booth to ask about scholarship programs. After that I continuously contact the person in charge and got information from website, too.<\/p>\n
This is my first time to come to Japan. And my first impression is that there are a lot of trains in Japan. I was surprised at the train\u2019s big network! It seemed me to be complicated but actually it is really convenient. The trains go fast and reach almost on time.<\/p>\n
I may be a little worried about language. Before coming to Japan, I studied Japanese language for two months on my own, and in Japan I took Japanese language class, too. But in Dormitory, most of the students are Japanese with some International students; Singaporean, Chinese, Korean. They seemed to speak Japanese well, so I thought that I had some difficulties. But they speak English and can help me a lot. And about the weather, I feel more comfortable compared in Thailand. When I saw snow falling for my first time, I made a snowman. I went to Niigata and Nagano to do snowboard with friends. It was very fun!<\/p>\n
My supervisor, Sugano Sensei, is very kind. He gives me a consultation time once a month even he is very busy, and he suggests me to find my originality in my study. And in my specific lab team, there are students from Nepal, China and a doctor from Austria. There are also many Japanese bachelor and master students in the lab. So we go lunch together. I think I have good friendship with them in the laboratory.<\/p>\n
My current research is the study about a human-like robotic hand. Since nursery robot will live together with human and using tools that make for human to help human in doing many activities, so the human-like hand seems to be the most promising step toward a real nursery robot. My study will focus on the fingertip first, since human finger consist of many characteristics that will improve ability of a robot\u2019s hand, make it more advanced, more useful and can be use in a real-world situation. After I finish my doctor degree, I wish to become a researcher about nursing care robot. In the future, I will come back to my country to continue my research and I wish to be an instructor, or a professor.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Most of my free time, I spend in my room reading some Manga. I can\u2019t read much Kanji but I like Japanese Manga, \u2018One Piece\u2019 and \u2018NARUTO\u2019 the most. And every Sunday I go to play soccer with my Thai friends in Japan. I like listening to the music and sometimes play the ukulele.<\/p>\n
