About

Dr. Imhade P. Okokpujie is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of sustainable manufacturing, renewable energy, and intelligent automation. Her work critically examines the economic viability of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) into additive and advanced manufacturing, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2024 comprehensive review (16 citations), which provides a roadmap for cost-effective, data-driven production. She also pioneers practical green engineering solutions, notably through the development of a solar-powered robotic arm equipped with an active solar tracker. This 3-DOF system directly addresses the dual challenges of energy dependency and environmental impact in industrial automation. By designing robotic systems that harness renewable energy for precise control and wide-ranging motion, Dr. Okokpujie is bridging the gap between theoretical sustainability and tangible engineering applications. Her work is crucial for students and researchers interested in Industry 4.0, mechatronics, and sustainable design, offering a clear vision of how smart, energy-autonomous systems can reshape modern manufacturing and robotics for a more resilient future.
