Robots Everywhere with Aaed Musa

Aaed is a YouTuber who builds a variety of robots and a mechanical engineering student at Purdue. He just completed his undergrad degree and is now working on his Master's degree. I believe he is the first Amp Hour guest who is still a full time student.
His channel has a great variety of builds including designing all the way down to gearboxes.
Aaed says the MIT "mini cheetah" launched many low(er) costs builds of robots, including his own.
Boston Dynamics (and many others) announced their new ATLAS robotics platform at CES this year.

Past guest of the show James Bruton was a model for the builds that Aaed does
