About

P. Geethanjali is a leading researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering, robotics, and artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on developing intelligent assistive technologies. Her most significant contribution is her seminal 2016 review, "Myoelectric control of prosthetic hands: state-of-the-art review," which has garnered over 338 citations and serves as a foundational resource for the field. This work comprehensively analyzes how myoelectric signals (MES) can be harnessed to interpret user intention, enabling intuitive control of prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, and exoskeletons. Beyond this, she has advanced practical applications through a mechatronics platform for studying prosthetic hand control using EMG signals. Demonstrating the evolution of her research, Geethanjali has recently explored AI-enhanced robotics for healthcare, specifically developing a personal care robot assistant for hospital medication delivery. Her work consistently bridges pattern recognition and robotics, applying signal and visual pattern analysis to create more responsive and capable robotic systems. Through her research, Geethanjali has made enduring contributions to improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities and advancing the role of robotics in modern medicine.
