Robotics

At the intersection of computing, engineering, science, and mathematics lies the world of robotics. Our multidisciplinary program provides several opportunities to learn more about robots through hands-on projects, competition teams, and as part of a multidisciplinary minor.

Cross-Cutting Programs

Student Opportunities

Robotics Team

The robotics team has competed for more than 10 years, in the International Aerial Robotics Competition, Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition, and MATE-ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) competition.
