About

Shubham Subrot Panigrahi is a researcher at the forefront of applied robotics, with a focused expertise in automating material handling within the food processing industry. His work directly addresses the critical challenge of integrating robotic systems into environments that demand both high hygiene standards and operational efficiency. His most-cited paper, "Robotics for general material handling machines in food plants" (2022), has garnered 12 citations, establishing a foundational reference for engineers and academics seeking to modernize food plant logistics. This contribution outlines practical frameworks for deploying robotic arms and automated guided vehicles to handle raw ingredients and packaged goods, reducing human error and contamination risks. Panigrahi’s research bridges the gap between theoretical robotics and real-world industrial constraints, offering scalable solutions for tasks like sorting, palletizing, and conveyor management. By focusing on the unique demands of food-grade automation—such as washdown compatibility and gentle product handling—he provides a roadmap for safer, more productive facilities. His work is particularly valuable for students and practitioners in manufacturing engineering, as it demonstrates how robotics can transform traditional, labor-intensive processes into streamlined, intelligent systems.
