About

Dr. Sarmin Nahar is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the development of intelligent, autonomous humanoid systems designed for human-robot interaction. Her primary research areas include humanoid robot design, artificial intelligence for autonomous assistance, and interactive robotics. Dr. Nahar’s major contribution is the conceptualization and early-stage development of **MIRAA** (Mobile Intelligent Robot for Autonomous Assistance), a humanoid robot system engineered to serve as a capable, interactive mobile assistant. Her research focuses on enabling robots to perform complex tasks such as responding to verbal questions, executing gestures, retrieving internet data, and remembering user-specific information—pushing the boundaries of how robots can naturally assist in daily life. While her work on MIRAA, published in 2021, has garnered early recognition with 4 citations, it represents a foundational step toward fully autonomous humanoid companions. Dr. Nahar’s efforts highlight the critical intersection of mechanical design, cognitive architecture, and real-world usability, making her a promising voice in the field of assistive robotics. Her ongoing research continues to explore how intelligent machines can become more intuitive and helpful partners for humans.
