Hello there, I’m Hitesh!
Robots have always fascinated me for a long time 🤖
Over time, through the advent of AI in the real world, I’ve realised that Robotics is not just an engineering discipline, but also a way to extend human capability!
I’m particularly interested in tackling the early, difficult problems in Physical AI…the kind that shape how these systems will scale and become an actual tangible thing in the real-world!
