Applied Mathematics @ UC Berkeley
Tarun Yadgirkar builds AI systems, robotics, and embedded intelligence.
I build AI systems, robotics platforms, and embedded intelligence — from FPGA-accelerated machine learning to assistive mobility robots. I'm studying Applied Mathematics at UC Berkeley, research embedded ML at Santa Clara University's WIN Lab, and filed a provisional patent for BALANCE, a hybrid legged-and-wheeled mobility device.
