About
Ekta Singla is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans wearable assistive technologies, modular manipulator design, and medical robotics. She is perhaps best known for her 2017 survey on lower-limb exoskeletons, which has garnered over 220 citations and remains a foundational reference in the assistive robotics community, addressing the growing demand for technologies serving aging populations. Her research has made substantial contributions to the design and optimization of modular reconfigurable manipulators, developing task-based configuration approaches that enable robotic arms to adapt across diverse and cluttered environments — work reflected in several influential publications spanning 2015 to 2023. Singla has also advanced the field of medical robotics, exploring kinematic modeling of hybrid spatial manipulators and applying adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems to surgical path planning. More recently, her interests have expanded into agricultural robotics, demonstrating the versatility of reconfigurable systems in vertical farming applications. With a research portfolio that bridges theoretical kinematics, evolutionary design strategies, and real-world assistive applications, Singla's work consistently addresses pressing societal challenges — from healthcare to food security — making her a well-rounded and impactful figure in modern robotics engineering.
