Robot idea💭 dreaming it up
Runway Inspector Bot
A small rover that drives down a runway at night checking every light and looking for cracks — like Pragyan, but for airports.
🤖 Robot Lab
Machines I want to build.
Real robots already drive on Mars and fly in thin Martian air. These are my own ideas — some will stay dreams, some might get built at this very desk.

Baggage Maze Solver
Airports move bags through kilometres of belts. Could a robot find the fastest path for every bag, like solving a maze?

Piano Page Turner
A little arm that turns the sheet-music page exactly when I nod. No more stopping mid-piece!

Mars Greenhouse Keeper
Astronauts will need farms on Mars. A gentle robot gardener could water plants and report which ones grow best in Martian light.
Heroes of the lab
Pragyan 🇮🇳
ISRO's 26 kg rover that rolled out of Vikram near the Moon's south pole in 2023 — the first wheels ever to turn there.
Ingenuity 🚁
Planned for 5 flights on Mars, flew 72. Proof that "impossible" sometimes just means "not tried yet".
Canadarm2 🦾
The 17-metre robot arm that builds and repairs the ISS — and catches visiting cargo ships out of space like a goalkeeper.
