What we do
The Robotics & Automation Society builds machines that sense, think and move.
From line followers in first year to autonomous rovers and robotic arms, members work across mechanics, electronics and software in small project teams.
01
Autonomy
Localisation, path planning and ROS.
02
Computer vision
Perception pipelines for real robots.
03
Controls
PID to model-predictive control on hardware.
04
Mechatronics
Actuators, sensors and mechanical design.
