About

Karthikeyan P. Iyengar is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of robotics, orthopaedics, and advanced industrial paradigms. His work primarily explores how emerging technologies—from Industry 5.0 to the conceptual framework of Industry 6.0—can transform surgical care and public health. Iyengar’s most cited paper, “Robotics Applications in COVID-19: A Review” (2020, 76 citations), provided a timely analysis of how robotic systems could mitigate viral spread and maintain critical services during the pandemic, establishing his reputation for addressing urgent global challenges through technology. He further advanced the field with “Industry 5.0 technology capabilities in Trauma and Orthopaedics” (2022, 45 citations), detailing how human-centric, resilient, and sustainable manufacturing principles can enhance orthopaedic device design and surgical precision. Most recently, his visionary work “Industry 6.0 capabilities in orthopaedics: Towards hyper-personalized and autonomous surgical care” (2025) charts a path toward fully autonomous, patient-specific treatments. With a growing citation impact and a clear trajectory from crisis response to futuristic care, Iyengar is shaping how robotics and smart manufacturing will redefine orthopaedic surgery and healthcare resilience.
