Hi, let me introduce myself!

About Me

Hi, my name is Harrison (Harry) Saperstein. I graduated from WPI with my MS/BS in Robotics Engineering back in 2021. Growing up, my Dad brought me to as many FIRST competitions that came to town as we could, and I was always amazed by the teams and their robots. I was too young to grasp the scale of their accomplishments. WPI introduced me to what it means to be robotic, and come Junior year, when I was taking Linear Algebra and Differential Equations alongside courses where I was solving for the kinematics and controls of serial manipulators and turtlebots, I realized I was truly hooked and in trouble. I had grown an itch that was hard to satisfy.

When I want to step away from a project, whether I'm stuck, hyperfocused to myown detriment, or need inspiration, I tend to be very active. I love skiing in the winter, I love golfing in the summer, and I especially love Boston sports. Even when I'm at my desk working through the next task to complete, I have some combination of the Sox, B's and Pats playing in the background. When a game isn't on, I turn to YouTube. I enjoy watching makers, like Adam Savage's Tested, Jeremy Fielding or StuffMadeHere, create solutions to real world problems from scratch and bring you along for the ride, to channels like Veritasium or Smarter Every Day where I can always learn something new, to, yes, consumer tech and video games.

Please join me on this journey to explore, learn and scratch that itch by solving problems, making robots move, and continuing to grow as an engineer and enthusiast!
