Zubin Khanna is a robotics researcher at the National University of Singapore, where he focuses on bioadaptive robots for stress reduction.
He has received the 1517 Fund Medici Grant for his work on Zuzi, a desktop companion robot that uses biometric feedback and AI-guided breathwork to support emotional well-being. The San Francisco–based fund has backed innovators behind companies such as Figma, Luminar Technologies, and Loom.
Zubin is the creator of Arro, a friendly sports-bot featured by FC Barcelona, and the Z-Force Buggy, an electric vehicle he designed and engineered end-to-end. He is Vice-President of Ethical Builders where he leads the robotics programme, which teaches robotics to children in Singapore and has conducted hands-on workshops for primary school students at the Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA).
Beyond engineering, Zubin has strong interests in history and governance, particularly the study of institutions, power structures, and social systems. He is a student at United World College Singapore and a competitive triathlete.
