Having been exposed to electronics from a very young age, I have played and tinkered with a variety of robots throughout my childhood and schooling. These ranged from simple wheeled robots and manipulators to building assistive devices for the visually impaired. It didn’t take me long to realize that robotics wasn’t simply a hobby, but a dedicated career ambition. I strongly believe that robots can not only improve our lives, but they have the potential to completely revolutionise human society in the near future.
