About Me

Muhammad Abdullah Khalid

Hello! I'm Muhammad Abdullah Khalid

A recently graduated Mechatronics Engineer from NUST. I build robots that move, think, and (occasionally) throw tantrums, like the Humanoid Assistive Robotic Platform (HARP), a social robot I designed that can talk, navigate, and even recognize emotions.

When I'm not tuning motors or tweaking code, you'll probably find me modeling in CAD, experimenting with embedded systems, or debugging something that was working five minutes ago.

From expressive humanoid bots to tree-planting machines, I love bringing ideas to life and making them work in the real world (bonus points if they don't smoke).

This site is a peek into the things I build, break, and learn. Dive in!
