Dr. Yogesh Singh works in the area of Robotics for Rehabilitation and Healthcare with a research focus on developing robotic systems aimed at enhancing and/or restoring human motor functions. His work integrates multidisciplinary nature of robotics for healthcare aimed at assisting both health individuals and those with gait impairments, such as older adults and patients with parkinson's disease, stroke, or vestibular disorder.
Dr. Singh is particularly interested in human performance augmentation and restoration through robotics and virtual reality and in creating innovative, user-centric solutions to improve mobility and quality of life. His interdisciplinary research bridges robotics, biomechanics, control systems, and human-centered design to contribute meaningfully to the future of assistive and rehabilitative technologies.
He completed his Start Early Ph.D. from IIT Gandhinagar in Dec. 2023. He was a Prime Minister Research Fellows (PMRF) Ph.D. scholar from 2020-23. His doctoral work was on the development of technological tools to assess, train, and intervene gait behavior in young and older adults leading to the development and design of virtual reality based novel paradigms and active intervention through active exoskeletons. In his Ph.D., he has published 5 international journal, 6 international conference, 2 book chapters, and 6 research awards including the PMRF, BIRAC-SITARE-GYTI Award, Best International paper and poster awards. During his PhD, as part of SPARC Project, he spent couple of months at Columbia University working as a short-term scholar in the field of wearable robotics and virtual reality for rehabilitation.
