About

Akash Gupta is a robotics and automation researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, industrial robotics, and human-robot interaction. He is best known for his contributions to robotic exoskeleton technology, particularly for upper-limb rehabilitation in individuals affected by stroke or spinal cord injury. His 2020 review on robotic exoskeleton developments and clinical evaluations has garnered 44 citations, establishing him as a recognized voice in assistive robotics. Gupta's technical depth is evident in his kinematic and dynamic analysis of a 3-DOF upper-limb exoskeleton, where he explored computed torque control strategies grounded in human biomechanics. This control methodology also informed his research on surgical robotics, highlighting its broader clinical relevance. Beyond rehabilitation, Gupta has made a substantial educational contribution through his textbook *Industrial Automation and Robotics*, now in its second edition, which has become a valuable resource for students entering the field. His 2021 paper examining human-robot relationships in the context of a pandemic further demonstrates his ability to engage with broader societal dimensions of robotics. With over 140 cumulative citations, Gupta's work bridges rigorous engineering analysis with real-world human impact.
