About

Pankaj Pandey explores the intersection of human experience and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on how resonance—both physical and emotional—can shape the design of social robots. In his most-cited work, "Resonance as a Design Strategy for AI and Social Robots" (2022, 25 citations), Pandey investigates how the physical mechanism of resonance aligns with the human experience of connection and rapport. He argues that by embedding principles of resonance into robotic systems, we can create more intuitive, empathetic interactions between humans and machines. This research bridges engineering, psychology, and design, offering a novel framework for developing AI that feels more natural and responsive. Pandey’s contributions are especially relevant to the growing field of human-robot interaction, where achieving genuine engagement remains a central challenge. His work has been cited by researchers in robotics, cognitive science, and interaction design, reflecting its interdisciplinary impact. By reframing resonance as a design strategy, Pandey provides a compelling pathway toward more harmonious human-AI relationships.
