Kunal Gupta
Hi, I'm Kunal. I build robots and products that are meant to work in the real world. When they do not, that is usually where the interesting bit starts.
Japan deployment.
Japan was a good reminder that a robot can look great in a demo and still have plenty to learn outside. Deployment is where it has to fit into someone's actual day.
Robots have a way of keeping you honest.
A strong model is a nice start. The tricky part is making sure the robot is still useful when an ordinary Tuesday gets weird.
Stuff worth saving.
A running collection of project updates, travel notes, and anything else that felt worth saving.
