The main
purpose of the Robotics Team
is to promote understanding
of robotics through projects
funded by grants and
donations. The members use a
combination of their
existing knowledge coupled
with new things that they
learn on the spot to solve
complex problems in the
areas of mechanical,
electrical, and computer
engineering and computer
science. The original
project undertaken was a UAV
that was entered into the
International Aerial
Robotics Competition which
is hosted by the
Associations for Unmanned
Vehicle Systems
International. The club
first competed in this
competition in 1996 and has
continued to compete in it
every year. Recently the
Team switched to an UGV
project which will become
the main project. The Team
also offers the opportunity
for members to start new
projects based on their
level of interest in
robotics. |
