![]() Meet ex-Zynga CTO Cadir Lee, who now dons many hats in the startup world and beyondīut Sphereo soon hit a rough phase when contracts began to dry up during the dot-com crash. The lunar rover that Lalitesh worked on with William 'Red' Whittaker “ I learnt to turn ideas into research and turn research into implementation,” says Lalitesh, who, with Whittaker, built the Lunar Rover in 1997. Later, in 1991, he studied MS Design at Stanford University, nurturing his dream to 'design entire systems and not parts,' and then to Carnegie Mellon to pursue his PhD in Robotics.Īt Carnegie Mellon, Lalitesh learnt from great faculty like Raj Reddy, whose PhD thesis was on speech recognition, and Pradeep Khosla, who worked on autonomous systems, which is responsible for a lot of modern electrical vehicles and high-speed robots. He also worked with William Whittaker, who built the first robot to go into the nuclear disaster area in the 1970s. During his fourth year of engineering, a new field emerged - robotics. Carnegie Mellon was the only university offering the course, but Lalitesh’s grades did not make him eligible for the paid scholarship for an MS degree instead, he went on to pursue MS in Aerospace from Iowa State University.
