                     Saarang Sumesh

                     Kerala, made  his  first  robot  at
                     the age of 4 and by  age 7  was
                     described as “the youngest robot
                     maker in Kerala (and possibly in
                     India)”. His inventions  include  a
                     smart seat belt project (detecting

                     rollover, water/fire sensors) built
                     early in age. His early interest and
                     impressive skills in robotics have
                     made him a remarkable example
                     of how  young children can
                     engage with and master complex
                     technology. Saarang’s achievements inspire others to explore the world of robotics from a

                     young age, proving that age is no barrier to innovation and creativity.
