Meet Saarang Sumesh, The Youngest Robot-Maker in Kerala - The New Indian Express

KOCHI: Saarang Sumesh made robots on his own long before he started going to school. The seven-year-old Class II student of Choice School, Tripunithura, is the youngest maker of robots in the state and, probably, the youngest in the country as well. The Palluruthy native, son of Sumesh V S and Srijaya, started building complex machines like internal combustion engine models from the age of three. By four, he began building the LEGO NxT robot models and started making his own robot models - walking stick for the visually challenged, house-cleaning robot, robotic hand, tricycle, humanoid robot - by the time he turned five. Now, he learns and makes new Arduino projects using micro-control kit (electronic kit) and Raspberry Pi. ''When I got the Lego robotic kit I was thrilled to make robots out of it.
