Robotboy (character)

5 stars based on 43 reviews

While most kids his age likely spent their summer playing video games or on the monkey bars, the year-old wunderkind tinkered away at an internship making robots from scratch. The pre-teen spent the last few months at OLogic, a Sunnyvale, Calif. While there, Agrawal built a device capable of autonomously delivering bags of potato chips throughout the office. I asked her how it works and she told me you use this thing called HTML.

He started studying coding, and by age 5 built his first basic website. His parents, both engineers, bought him a digital circuit book and a kit, and he started tinkering.

He says he built all of the examples in the book, hoping not to blow anything up. But he was only 6 years old at this point, and there were some accidents.

Luckily, no one got hurt. At age 9 he got a ham radio a small, experimental communication device license for his birthday. This led him to learn about Arduino boards, the programmable mini computer controllers he would use to create basic robots. Soon he was building devices like a small robot capable of finding an object on a table, and pushing it to a shoe box goal at the end of the table. Simple creations, but light years ahead of metal erector sets or Legos. Sensing his son needed more stimulus, Agrawal's father reached out to OLogic through the Hacker Dojo, and asked if young Rohan could attend a summer internship.

Agrawal's machine is a play on that — but instead of cleaning room-to-room, it goes into offices and delivers snacks. I'm working on getting it to see if there's anybody in the room. If there isn't, it will leave and won't wait. The machine works through an existing program called SLAMwhich stands for simultaneous location and mapping.

It allows sensors on the device to create maps that see and avoid obstacles. OLogic couldn't pay him because of his age, and instead bought him lunch everyday. Thompson says he would hire Agrawal if given the chance. Here's a video of Agrawal in action at OLogic:. With the internship over, Agrawal is back at work in his mini-studio, a converted garage with a soldering iron and scattered electronics. The rest of the time he's at the hacker dojo, where he mentors other kids, most of whom are older.

He says he wants a robot "that can cook so he can make snacks. Still years from college, he says he wants to pursue robotics professionally — or computer programming. Agrawal's advice to other young, creative minds? We're using cookies to improve your experience.
