About

Sriram Soniya is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and embedded systems, whose work bridges the gap between mechanical engineering and psychological evaluation. Her primary research focuses on the design, locomotion, and social impact of humanoid robots, with a particular emphasis on bipedal walking mechanisms and the psychological effects these machines have on human users. In her most cited work, "A Study on Humanoid Robots and Its Psychological Evaluation" (17 citations), she explores how professional service robots—designed to mimic human movement and communication—can automate tasks while also influencing human perception and trust. Soniya has also made significant contributions to the Internet of Things (IoT) through her investigation of Arduino-based wireless sensor networks (7 citations), demonstrating how open-source hardware can democratize technology for artists and designers. Her additional research into biped locomotion and walking patterns (2 citations) furthers the development of more natural, human-like movement in androids and gynoids. By combining technical innovation with psychological insight, Soniya is helping to shape a future where robots are not only functional but also socially integrated, making her work essential reading for students and researchers in robotics, human-computer interaction, and IoT engineering.
