I am Dr. Awais Yasin, a dedicated academic and industry leader specializing in Robotics, Embedded Systems, and Industrial Automation. I hold a Ph.D. in Robotics (Bionics Engineering) from Beijing Institute of Technology, China, and bring over 20.5 years of diverse experience in academia, research, and industry.
Currently, I serve as an Associate Professor at NUTECH, Islamabad, where I have contributed to advancements in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Virtual Reality. I have authored 25 international journal publications, with an H-index of 19 and an i10-index of 22, alongside impactful conference papers and a book chapter.
I am honored to have received numerous prestigious awards, including the Presidential Award at the National Idea Bank III (2024), the Prime Minister National Innovation Award (2023), and the World Cup Award in Virtual Reality Cloud Programming (2018). My leadership has also led teams to success in national competitions such as the PEC Federal Capstone Expos (2023, 2024) and international innovation contests like the Double-Dragon Cup (2023).
As a proactive innovator, I have developed transformative solutions, such as a Knitting-Specific ERP for Pakistan’s textile sector, and established state-of-the-art facilities like the Virtual Reality and Motion Simulation Center at NESCOM. I am also the founder of Robionix Technologies, focusing on industrial automation, and co-founder of Foodways International, showcasing my commitment to impactful entrepreneurship.
I have authored 25 international journal publications, including papers in high-impact journals such as Electronics and IEEE Access, as well as four conference papers presented at esteemed forums like IEEE's International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO). Additionally, I contribute as a reviewer for leading academic journals in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Embedded Systems.
