About

Swati Panda is pioneering the convergence of energy harvesting, artificial intelligence, and bioinspired design to create the next generation of autonomous soft robotic systems. Her research focuses on developing self-powered technologies that eliminate the need for external power sources, fundamentally rethinking how robots interact with their environment. Panda’s most impactful work, “Revolutionizing self-powered robotic systems with triboelectric nanogenerators” (2023, 106 citations), demonstrates how triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can enable direct mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion for actuation, grasping, and sensing. She further advances this field by integrating smart data processing with AI for energy harvesting systems (2022, 99 citations), and by exploring stimuli-responsive polymer-based bioinspired soft robots (2023, 28 citations). Her latest work (2025) charts a path toward sustainable, environmentally responsive machines. With over 239 total citations across her key publications, Panda is establishing herself as a leading voice in sustainable robotics, offering a compelling vision of machines that power themselves while mimicking nature’s elegance.
