About
I am Rahul H Kumar, currently a MS in Robotics student from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. Growing up, it was always a fascination to learn how robots - those magical gadgets that came to life at a press of a button and did tasks without human intervention, worked. This interest has always been fueled by the passion to do work that adds value to the human society. In an effort to communicate this inspiration and connect with like minded individuals, I have made this collection of projects, research and experiences. Aside from robotics, I enjoy wildlife photography. I hope you enjoy reading this website. Feel free to connect!
