Join us as we speak with Dr. Parag Batavia about the evolution of the Pittsburgh Robotics scene, growing a business, and so much more.   Dr. Parag Batavia is a robotics entrepreneur with a proven track record of starting, leading, growing, and exiting robotics and autonomy companies. His technology focus is on outdoor off-road autonomy, manned-unmanned teaming, and mission planning.  

His most recent company was Neya Systems, LLC, which he started as the sole founder in 2009. Neya focuses on developing robust off-road autonomy for defense and commercial customers. In 2017, after 8 years of continued growth, Neya was acquired by Applied Research Associates. Parag continues to work at Neya part time, as the Chief Technology Strategist, where he helps to guide Neya’s technology development efforts and lead key business development activities.  

Parag is also currently an instructor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute, where he teaches a two- semester course on “How to Build a Robotics Startup”. 

Finally, he cares deeply about the growth of the Pittsburgh robotics ecosystem. To that end, he also serves on the Executive Board of the Pittsburgh Robotics Network, and the governing board of the SWPA New Economy Collaborative Board of Directors.  He received a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1995, a Ph.D. in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon in 1999, and an MBA from Drexel University in 2009.
