Puspita Dewi joined CRL as a Robotics Engineer in March 2025. She earned her Master's degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto in January 2025. Her master research focused on the design of lightweight modular units for tendon-driven continuum robots (TDCR) in industrial applications. She developed unit designs that offer modularity to tailor the TDCR's stiffness and conducted a parametric study to enhance adaptability, ensuring the design can be easily modified for diverse industrial applications.

Puspita completed her bachelors’ degree at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in Indonesia, majoring in aeronautics and astronautics engineering. Her bachelor’s research focused on structural design and finite element analysis of a two-seater aircraft for a project in collaboration between the university and the Indonesian government research and development agency of transportation.
