AI (artificial intelligence) has become a pervasive topic of conversation in recent times, encompassing a myriad of capabilities. It has the power to predict weather patterns, forecast real estate values, produce exquisite art and poetry, and much more. Beyond these creative applications, AI also possesses the capacity to bestow cars with autonomous abilities, guide robots through intricate housecleaning tasks, and navigate agricultural landscapes for strawberry harvesting. The architects behind infusing artificial intelligence into robots are known as roboticists. One prominent figure in this realm is Karthikeyan Yuvaraj. Karthikeyan has played a pivotal role as a roboticist within Alphabet, Google's parent organization, contributing to advancing cutting-edge robotics and computer vision solutions tailored for industrial contexts. Also, the startup Vicarious AI, which he joined as one of the founding roboticists, was acquired by Google in 2022 for its groundbreaking technology in the intersection of AI and robotics. His body of work, spanning publications and patents in robotics and AI, boasts over 190 citations. Karthikeyan's journey into robotics began in Neyveli, a quaint town in Tamil Nadu, India. His childhood fascination with robots, sparked by the likes of Star Wars, became the cornerstone of his enduring passion for this field.
