About

Peter Njogu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of origami engineering, flexible electronics, and wireless communication systems. His work focuses on developing low-cost, deployable antenna solutions for lightweight robotic platforms, with particular emphasis on paper-based and foldable structures. Njogu’s most cited work, “Evaluation of Planar Inkjet-Printed Antennas on a Low-Cost Origami Flapping Robot” (2020, 23 citations), demonstrates a novel approach to integrating antennas resonating at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz onto an origami robotic bird made from standard A4 paper—a significant contribution to expendable, environmentally friendly robotics. His follow-up study, “Origami Boat Sensing Antenna” (2021), introduces a proof-of-concept monopole antenna for unmanned surface vehicles, incorporating surface detection capabilities directly into the folded Mylar structure. These contributions showcase Njogu’s ability to merge traditional origami principles with modern wireless technology, creating functional, disposable devices for remote sensing and control. His work is particularly impactful for researchers exploring sustainable, low-cost alternatives in robotics and IoT applications, where traditional rigid antennas are impractical.
