Praveen Kumar Verma(@Alacritic_Super):Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

FinTech by day. At night I build DIY robots that think with their bodies. Embodied AI, microcontrollers & open-source hardware for makers. DM for collab.
