Keshav Iyengar is a robotics and AI engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging surgical robotics research and product development, currently working as an R&D Engineer at Panda Surgical and an Honorary Research Fellow at UCL. He completed a PhD at UCL on deep reinforcement learning for control of concentric tube robots and holds an MSc in Robotics and Computation and a BASc in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics) from Waterloo. His background spans embedded and software systems, SLAM and point-cloud visualization, safety controllers and GUI tooling—skills honed in industry internships and in leading the University of Waterloo rover team. Keshav blends academic rigor with pragmatic engineering, having moved prototypes toward real-world use in both medical-device and autonomous-robot contexts. An inventive problem-solver, his undergraduate design included an automated beer-pouring retrofit that combined mechanical design and control—an early hint of his knack for applying robotics to everyday problems.
