Founder of latice, Impetus AI & SparkLine

Rishabh Dagli

I'm a senior in New Jersey. Most of what I make has a circuit board on one end and a customer on the other — I'd rather it work than pitch well.

Work

Things I've built.

latice is where most of my week goes. Under it, two software ventures I run and a stack of smaller tools — some live, some still on the bench.

Building

Agriculture robotics

Autonomous field robots for the bed-work small farms can't hire for.

A mecanum-wheeled ground rover and a precision spray drone, each built to work one crop bed at a time. I design the enclosures and boards, write the firmware, and tune the vision and UWB positioning that keeps them on the row. Right now I'm proving the economics with a New Jersey farm — in labor hours first, dollars second.

About

A bit about me.

I'm a senior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North, graduating in 2027. Most days I'm on latice, an agtech startup making robots for small farms. On the side I run Impetus AI, which does AI work for dentists and doctors near me, and SparkLine, a program for teenage founders.

I care about the unglamorous parts: whether the board passes DRC, whether a model still holds up once it's on real data instead of the test set, and whether anyone actually pays for it. That's usually what separates a demo from a product.
