Ambarish Goswami is a Principal Systems Analyst at Intuitive Surgical, California, where he is
working on current and future generation da Vinci surgical robotics system. His current responsibility is in the area of product development, and especially on improving human-robot interaction and user-experience by streamlining surgical workflow and minimizing in-procedure interruptions.
Before joining Intuitive Surgical, Ambarish was a Principal Scientist at Honda Research Institute.
At Honda, Ambarish performed research in humanoid robots, assistive exoskeletons, mechatronics and vehicles dynamics. Most recently he led the System Integration and Control Group for self-driving car activities (AD/ADAS) and in 2015 his team successfully demonstrated sensor and GPS-mediated autonomous driving in an experimental urban setting in California.
Ambarish received the Bachelor's degree from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, the Master's degree from Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, and the Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, all in Mechanical Engineering.
Ambarish Goswami's Ph.D. work, under Prof. Michael Peshkin, was in the area of automated assembly and robot-assisted total knee-replacement surgery, which was one of the earliest works in the field. For four years following his Ph.D. Ambarish worked at the INRIA Laboratory in Grenoble, France, as a permanent scientific staff (Charge de Recherche). He was a member of "BIP" Project which developed the first anthropomorphic biped robot in France. Subsequently, he became an IRCS Fellow at the Center for Human Modeling and Simulation at the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked with Profs. Norm Badler and Dimitris Metaxas. He then worked at Autdoesk in San Francisco in the exclusive core development team for the leading animation software 3D Studio Max. His area was human arm kinematics, inverse kinematics, constrai
