From Microfarms to the Moon: A Teen Innovator’s Journey in Robotics

A brilliant 13‑year‑old innovator, Pranav, showcases his award‑winning robotics projects from the World Robot Olympiad. He presents TerraSoils, a low‑cost 3D‑printed farming robot that levels soil and maps nutrients for efficient micro‑farming, and Electrostatics, a robotic‑arm system designed to clean harmful lunar dust from rover surfaces. Along the way, he shares insights on iterative design, AI‑assisted modeling, 3D printing, and his maker journey. An inspiring talk from a young engineer pushing the boundaries of robotics and imagination.
