Arjun grew up in India building remote-controlled airplanes, earned his pilot’s license before college, and researched swarm robotics at Purdue. He planned to pursue a PhD to continue his research. Instead, a summer job turned into 2 years leading industrial automation and auditing more than 70 factories across America. Now he’s building Factory Intelligence: autonomous factories making electrical components for data centers. Within the first 4 weeks on his customers site they trained thier robots to bend wires, break tabs, and drive screws fully autonomously. By teaching robots to interpret force, his team achieved 30% better performance with π0.5 than the same model without torque input, using the same training data.
