Research Projects

TastePrint: A 3D Food Printing System for Layer-wise Taste Distribution via Airbrushed Liquid Seasoning
Applied Food Research, (Demo at ACM SCF 2026)
Yamato Miyatake, Parinya Punpongsanon.

Abstract: 3D food printing enables the customization of food shapes and textures, but typically produces uniform taste profiles due to the limited diversity of printable materials. We present TastePrint, a 3D food printing system that achieves layer-wise spatial taste distribution by dynamically applying liquid seasonings with a programmable airbrush during fabrication. The system integrates (1) a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to import 3D models, slice them into layers, and specify seasoning channels, spray positions, and intensities, and (2) a customized 3D food printer equipped with a multi-nozzle spray mechanism.

How Much Delay Goes Unnoticed? Quantifying Perceptual Latency Thresholds Across Multimodalities in Virtual Reality
ICXR 2026
Natthaphon Hatsakornkhanachok, Parinya Punpongsanon.

Abstract: In virtual reality (VR), delays between a user's action and sensory feedback disrupt immersion and responsiveness, yet careful budgeting can expand rather than degrade VR's design. We quantify perceptual latency thresholds across three modalities (lighting, sound, rotation) using a fixed-staircase procedure with ternary judgments (N = 20) to estimate the Point of Subjective Simultaneity (PSS) and Temporal Binding Window (TBW).

OlfaDrone: Characterizing Odor and Airflow Perception in a Drone-Based Olfactory Display for XR
ICXR 2026
Ryosei Unoki, Natthaphon Hatsakornkhanachok, Parinya Punpongsanon.

Abstract: Olfactory presentation has been used to enhance immersion in virtual environments (VEs). Traditionally, odor stimuli are delivered either by attaching an odor-emitting device directly to a headset or by installing a fixed device on the ground. However, these methods can reduce immersion because of added physical burden or limited spatial flexibility when the user moves.

ChewTect: Designing Temporal Food Texture via Computational Molding
ACM DIS 2026
Yamato Miyatake, Aoi Yamada, Huaishu Peng, Parinya Punpongsanon.

Abstract: Food texture plays a crucial role in the overall sensory experience and the functional properties of food, evolving dynamically from the first bite to the final chew. Traditional methods for modifying food texture, such as adjusting cooking parameters, often compromise other key attributes, including appearance and nutritional value, whereas existing computational approaches

Reconfigurable Soft Pneumatic Actuators Using Multi-Material Self-Healing Polymers
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, (Presented at IROS 2025)
Shota Kosaka, Kentaro Kimura, Seiichi Yamamoto, Hiroki Ishizuka, Yoichi Masuda, Parinya Punpongsanon, Sei Ikeda, Osamu Oshiro.

Abstract: Reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) scenes with semantic understanding is vital in many robotic applications. Robots need to identify which objects, along with their positions and shapes, to manipulate them precisely with given tasks. Mobile robots, especially, usually use lightweight networks to segment objects on RGB images and then localize them via depth maps; however, they
