Praveen Venkatesh

Hello World! I am a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, Robotics Institute.

  • Passionate about giving sight to robots.
  • Currently building robotic systems that can assist humans @auxiliorobotics.
  • Love tinkering with robots and experimenting with crazy ideas. Check my projects out here Projects
  • Absolutely love teaching and disseminating knowledge in intuitive ways - my projects always have a visual component to it :)
  • Triple Gold Medallist from IIT Gandhinagar
In my spare time, I engage myself in tinkering with electronics and automating my life. I have always firmly believed that we should strive to be the best version of ourselves, and have transformed significantly as a person during my time at IITGN. I have been part of several student-run groups and developmental projects, and have actively contributed towards improving the sporting and technical culture at the institute.
Some things about me
  • I can solve the 3x3 cube in around 13 seconds and can solve 14 different twisty puzzle derivatives of the 3x3 (Including solving it blindfolded!). Check my World Cubing Association profile here - [Praveen Venkatesh | World Cube Association](praveenvnktsh.github.io)
  • I go on typeracer and have fun when I feel like it. Its how I can type at 100 WPM :P
  • Music = ❤️
  • Competitive Table Tennis player (ex-state player from TN) - find a TT board, I'm up for a match anytime!
  • I can play the Keyboard
  • I play a lot of games! (gamerTag - flyingMango)
