Surabhit Gupta

I am a Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer passionate about bridging high-performance physical hardware with intelligent control and automation. I completed my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington (working with the Vashisth Research Lab) and hold a Bachelor of Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi.

Currently, I work on robotics hardware operations, physical platform testing, and telematics data acquisition pipelines at Meta Reality Labs in Redmond, WA. I was also previously the Mechanical Lead of IoT Bearings LLC, where we build smart sensor-integrated platforms backed by a $110,000 U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) grant.

My research and engineering focus centers on Mechatronics, Robotic Kinematics, Mechanism Design, DFM/DFA, and Experimental Hardware Validation, pushing manufacturing and robotic platforms towards physical reality.
