About
Sayanti Pal is a pioneering researcher in space robotics and debris mitigation, whose work directly addresses one of the most pressing challenges in orbital sustainability. Her primary research areas include robotic manipulator systems, under-actuated gripper design, and autonomous spacecraft stabilization for active debris removal and satellite servicing. Pal’s most cited paper, “Performance Study of Different Robotic Manipulator Systems Designed for Space Debris Management” (2020, 19 citations), makes a significant contribution by proposing comprehensive electronics and auxiliary system design requirements tailored to specific torque and power constraints. In this work, she integrates an under-actuated gripper with a self-stabilized spacecraft platform, enabling the capture of debris and refueling of satellites through detailed simulation. This research bridges critical gaps in robotic grasping and spacecraft control, offering scalable solutions for future orbital missions. Pal’s innovative approach to combining mechanical design with autonomous stabilization has positioned her as a rising voice in space engineering, with her findings informing both academic studies and practical mission architectures. Her work continues to inspire new generations of researchers tackling the growing problem of space debris.
