Bio

Dr. Yogesh Singh specializes in Rehabilitation Robotics, with a research focus on developing robotic systems (wearable, portable or lab-based) aimed at enhancing and restoring human motor functions. His work integrates multidisciplinary nature of robotics for healthcare to assist both healthy individuals and those with gait impairments, such as older adults and patients with Parkinson’s disease, stroke, or vestibular disorders.

Dr. Singh is particularly interested in human performance augmentation and restoration through robotics 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 did Start Early Ph.D. from IIT Gandhinagar in Dec. 2023. He was also 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.
