About

Dr. Hamideh Khanberh is pioneering the next generation of self-powered robotic systems through her groundbreaking work with triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Her research focuses on harnessing mechanical energy from the environment—such as motion, vibration, or friction—and converting it directly into electrical energy, eliminating the need for external power sources in robotics. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Revolutionizing self-powered robotic systems with triboelectric nanogenerators," which has already garnered 106 citations, she demonstrates how TENGs enable autonomous actuation, grasping, and sensing in robotic systems. This work represents a paradigm shift in sustainable robotics, offering a path toward truly independent, energy-harvesting machines. Dr. Khanberh’s contributions are not only advancing fundamental understanding of energy conversion mechanisms but also paving the way for practical applications in soft robotics, wearable devices, and remote sensing. Her innovative approach has positioned her as a leading voice in the field, with her research inspiring new directions in self-powered technologies. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how interdisciplinary thinking can solve critical energy challenges in robotics.
