Aaditya Saraiya
Aaditya is deeply passionate about creating reliable robotic solutions. He has a BE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani- Dubai Campus, where he led his undergraduate robotics team to develop a drone solution to monitor and clean oil spills. The project has generated interest from the UAE government and has been featured at ‘The UAE Drones for Good 2017’ competition and received funding by ‘ExpoLive 2020’.
Currently, he is excited by technologies like SLAM, 3D reconstruction and their potential application to robotics, AR and high-fidelity 3D mapping. In the future, he’d like to work on robotics business solutions which can add value to human lives.
