AI in Human-Centered dynamical systems, AI in Biomechanics & Biomechanical Systems. The fundamental concepts which unify all our research works, are mechanical "deformation" and material "softness". Be it, soft deformable robotics, or biomechanics, we develop tools, numerical techniques, and generalized mathematical frameworks to capture the deformational pattern under the applications of external/internal stimuli or forces. Once understood, the next aim is to design and control the morphology (soft robotics in particular) in symbiosis with the human body (wearable/collaborative robotics), predict pathological progress through treatment personalization (neurodegeneration, Alzeimar, cerebral stroke etc) and aid in reducing trauma (pre-surgical simulation). We use a combination of differential equations based scientific "simulation" as well as modern data-driven "artificial intelligence" based predictive modeling. We carry out experiments for generating data in a structured/controlled environment.
My recent research focuses on the biomechanics of human movement, and Scientific AI in Biomechanics.
BSR Lab in IIT Delhi does interdisciplinary research in Biomechanics, Computational/Generative Design of Engineering systems, Soft Robotics, Data-driven discovery in mechanistic neuroscience, Brain-machine interface in wearable robotics, Data-driven computational mechanics, Digital Twin in medicine, and Differentiable Programming.

CONGRATULATIONS ! Abhilash Awasthi for his successfull Synopsis Presentation. The final step in here in IIT Delhi before submitting the full thesis to the reviewers. He has now defended his thesis successfully. We wish him best of luck
Abhilash has now submitted his PhD thsis titled "DEVELOPMENT OF AN IN SILICO SURGICAL SIMULATION PLATFORM FOR BIOMECHANICAL ASSESSMENT OF BRAIN". Surgery is a high skil motor activity. Preplanning through digital simulation is essestial in reducing trauma and successful outcome driven surgical procedure development. In this work we show that tissue-device interaction can be suided effectively over an anatomically, segmented brain geometry to access and quatify the tissue trauma during intraoperative surgical manuvarence.
CONGRATULATIONS! to Rajnish Kumar for winning this year's DeLuca Foundation award for Human Motion Science related research. Only two applications from Inda have been chosen this year.
Prof Roy has recently been awarded AGC Jancare Award
Prof Roy has received 2024 ROBERT AND MAUDE GLEDDEN VISITING FELLOWSHIP from Institute of Advanced Studies of Univ of Westran Australia
Prof Roy has been invited to deliver a guest lecture on "Computational Science in Design and Robotics" in Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi for a forum titled " Additive manufacturing for Sustainability and Industry 4.0"
Shaswata Ghosh submitted his PhD thesis titled "Computational Design and Analysis of Skeletal Muscle Like Soft Actuators": This thesis work makes a bridge between computational science in engineering design and its application in soft robotics domain, where data driven multimodal actuators, with increased strength to weigth ratio is of utmost importance. This work first time use the tools of generaitve design in soft robotic manufacturing. He has now defended his thesis successfully, we wish him best of luck.
