'With hard work, we can achieve anything': This Kerala boy has built cardboard robots that do most household chores

There's a kitchen table somewhere in Kerala that most parents would probably want cleared off, flattened cereal boxes, loose wires, a jumble of nuts and bolts, a couple of motors salvaged from who-knows-where. For one schoolboy, that clutter isn't mess. It's raw material. And what he's been building out of it has turned him into one of the most talked-about young faces in Kerala this month. His name is Levin Paulose, and if you haven't seen his videos yet, chances are someone in your family group chat has already forwarded one.

Meet Levin Paulose who built a robot from scrap heap

Rather than reaching for costly tools or complex machinery, Levin builds with whatever's lying around the house, cardboard, wires, string, nuts, bolts, batteries, combining them with small motors and basic parts to put together working models of his own design. No robotics kit, no fancy lab. Just a curious kid, a workbench, and apparently an endless supply of patience.
