Subir Kumar Saha is Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Project Director of I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics (Technology Innovation Hub of IIT Delhi). He received his mechanical engineering degree from RE College (now NIT), Durgapur, India, in 1983, prior to completing his M.Tech. at the IIT Kharagpur, India, and Ph.D. at McGill University, Canada. After his studies, he joined Toshiba Corporation's R&D Center in Japan. After four years of work experience in Japan, he has been with IIT Delhi since 1996. He is actively engaged in teaching, research, and technology and has completed projects worth several crores of Rupees. He established the Mechatronics Laboratory at the IIT Delhi in 2001, and was Co-Coordinator for the Programme for Autonomous Robotics at IIT Delhi during 2010-16 sponsored by BARC/BRNS Mumbai, which lead to the formation of Centre of Excellence on Biologically Inspired Robots and Drones (BIRD). Recently, he was also instrumental to initiate M. Tech in Robotics at IIT Delhi. In recognition of his international contributions, Prof. Saha was awarded a Humboldt Fellowship by the AvH Foundation, Germany, in 1999. He has been Visiting researcher in Canada, Australia, and Italy. Prof. Saha has authored many research publications in reputed journals/conference proceedings and books, including one text book on Introduction to Robotics supported with an in-house developed RoboAnalyzer software that has been licensed to a company in 2023.
