About

Arindam Phani is a pioneering researcher in the fields of battery-free robotics, wireless power transfer, and embedded systems. His most notable contribution is the concept of "quasi-wireless" power and control, introduced in his highly cited 2015 work, which enables surface-powered, tether-free robotic operation without the weight and limitations of onboard batteries. This foundational idea has garnered 14 citations and opened new pathways for lightweight, autonomous machines. Phani’s research addresses one of robotics’ most persistent challenges—portable energy storage—by leveraging novel power delivery architectures that sustain continuous, untethered motion. His work is particularly impactful for applications in micro-robotics, field exploration, and medical devices, where size and endurance are critical. Beyond his technical innovations, Phani is recognized for advancing the frontier of energy-autonomous systems, inspiring a generation of engineers to rethink how robots harvest and manage power. His achievements mark him as a key figure in the shift toward truly self-sustaining robotic platforms.
