Associate Professor S K Panda leads a team of researchers at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department who are involved in the research and development of
biomimetic solutions in ocean engineering -- looking towards nature for solutions to technical challenges with robots mimicking natural systems. The team is currently putting the final touches to a robotic sea turtle which could move about underwater, including diving to deeper depths vertically, like a real turtle, by just using its front and hind limb gait movements.
