I build things that
sense, move, and decide.

Hi, I’m Risheek — an engineering undergraduate building rovers, sensor networks, and vision models small enough to run on the hardware itself.

2024 Plan view of a six-wheeled rover with a forward camera and Wi-Fi uplink Robotics

Six wheels,
one live feed.

A rover with differential-drive steering that streams what it sees back over Wi-Fi while you drive it from a phone.

A little about me

Most of what I know came from a bench, a multimeter, and something that didn’t work the first time.

I’m reading for a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering at R V Institute of Technology and Management in Bengaluru, and I’ve spent most of it building — rovers, sensor networks, a dispenser for medication schedules, a security system that recognises a face without phoning home.

I presented a paper on that dispensing work at the IETE 7th National Conference, NCTEST-7. What holds my attention is the seam where software meets a physical thing: motor control, sensor integration, PCB layout, and getting a model small enough to run on a board that costs less than dinner.

I design and build for the web too — this page is mine, start to finish.
