BIO
Kushal's area of expertise is mainly in robotics & computer vision. Prior to starting his journey as an entrepreneur, he developed many unique computer vision models that help robots predict human movement to optimize their route, predict vandalism/threats, etc. but soon realized that robotics is not a one-size-fits-all solution due to 2 main reasons, cost and flexibility in usage. Thus we aim to provide robot-grade tech in the hands of humans to help them maximize their productivity.
