Why robotics
I believe robotics is where the abundance promised by AI becomes physical: systems that can help build, move, repair, care, and work in the real world. That future is not finished yet. Robots still need better autonomy, better reliability, and better ways to connect learned models with real hardware. I want to contribute to that work through robotics research, especially systems that make useful autonomy more dependable outside of demos.
