About

Akshay Sarin is a researcher specializing in wireless power transfer (WPT) and energy management systems for advanced robotic platforms, with a particular focus on swarm robotics and modular robot architectures. His work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in robotics: ensuring reliable, flexible energy supply to complex, dynamic systems operating in uncertain environments. Sarin's most notable contribution applies Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) principles — traditionally used in telecommunications — to wireless power transfer, enabling multiple access energy transfer (MAET) across heterogeneous robot swarms. This innovative cross-domain approach, which has garnered 14 citations, opens new possibilities for sustaining diverse swarm missions without the constraints of conventional wired charging. His complementary research on bidirectional capacitive wireless power transfer for modular robots (8 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to practical energy-balancing solutions that preserve the reconfigurability and ease of assembly that make modular systems attractive. Collectively, Sarin's research pushes the boundaries of autonomous system endurance, offering scalable, hardware-agnostic energy-sharing frameworks that could prove transformative for next-generation robotics applications in exploration, search-and-rescue, and distributed sensing missions.
