About

Rabail Makhdoom is a pioneering researcher in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, with a focus on capacitive coupling and dynamic charging solutions for mobile robotics. Her most cited work, "Multi-MHz In-Motion Capacitive Wireless Power Transfer System for Mobile Robots" (2022, 17 citations), introduces an innovative upside-down charging architecture where robots are powered by moving beneath overhead pads—a departure from traditional contact-based or inductive methods. This design enables seamless, in-motion energy delivery at multi-MHz frequencies, addressing critical challenges in autonomous robot endurance and operational flexibility. Makhdoom’s contributions advance the practicality of capacitive WPT for industrial and service robotics, reducing downtime and infrastructure complexity. Her research bridges high-frequency power electronics and robotic autonomy, earning recognition for its potential to transform warehouse logistics and automated environments. With growing citation impact, her work is shaping next-generation wireless charging standards, making her a rising voice in sustainable, untethered power solutions for mobile systems.
