Santosh Yadav

Santosh Yadav is a Hardware Development Engineer at Amazon Robotics and an IEEE Senior Member with over a decade building and deploying physical automation at scale — from DARPA-funded robotic systems to semiconductor manufacturing equipment used worldwide to large-scale fulfillment robotics. He holds multiple US patents in robotic manipulation and focuses on the mechanical and kinematic side of robotics: the design, motion, and reliability challenges that decide whether a system actually works in the real world. He writes regularly for Machine Design and EDN, and comments on where robotics and automation are genuinely headed.
