my name is Rishabh Dagli

I build hardware and the software around it, and I would rather it work than pitch well.

Currently building something in compute, quietly.

Founder at Impetus AI. Class of 2027 in New Jersey.

Below you can find some of the work I have done

    latice

    Autonomous ground and air robots for the bed-work small farms cannot hire for. Signed an LOI, built a working rover, then killed it.

  • ACTIVE · Sep 2025 —

    StraightUP!

    A posture chip that hides inside a belt. It reads back alignment and answers a slouch with a haptic nudge, not a notification.

  • ARCHIVED · 2024

    BlindBike

    A modular attachment that lets a visually-impaired rider use an ordinary bike. Sensing at the front, haptics at the hands.

  • SHIPPED · 2024

    Electric Skateboard

    A dual-motor belt drive that bolts onto an ordinary skateboard. Every bracket is printable, so the board stays a board.

  • ARCHIVED · 2023 — 2024

    Ball-Shifting PTO

    A dual-output power take-off. One motor feeds either of two outputs through a ball-shifting mechanism, so the robot carries one motor instead of two.

  • Experience

    Every role with the dates attached: founder four times over, an AI engineering internship at Schroders in London, machine learning at Quantiphi, and four seasons captaining an FTC team.

    Four FIRST Tech Challenge awards out of the 2025 season, including a state Think Award, plus a Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award and the Blue Ocean entrepreneurship certificate.

  • Notes

    The things that do not fit anywhere else. A soup kitchen, a 63-mile ride, a solo trip to MUN in India, and the two hours I like most about building hardware.
