About

Dr. Pardeep S Panesar is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, agricultural engineering, and food security. His work primarily focuses on the automation of fresh produce handling, addressing critical challenges in the post-harvest sector. His most cited paper, "The adoption of robotics in pack houses for fresh produce handling" (2023, 11 citations), examines how rising labour costs and shortages threaten global food security, particularly in low-margin industries reliant on dexterous human labour. Dr. Panesar’s major contribution lies in identifying the technical and economic barriers to robotic adoption in pack houses, offering a roadmap for integrating automation into final inspection and packing processes. His research bridges the gap between robotic capabilities and the nuanced demands of handling delicate produce, aiming to sustain industry viability. Through his work, Dr. Panesar highlights the urgent need for scalable robotic solutions to safeguard food supply chains, making his research pivotal for both agricultural engineers and policymakers. His insights are instrumental for students and researchers exploring the future of agri-food automation.
