Team Specialties
Computer Science Team
CS team handles software development, simulation platform maintenance, control algorithms, and the implementation of advanced computational methods, ensuring that the robot can perform desired tasks autonomously.
Electrical Engineering Team
Focuses on the robot's electrical systems, including circuit design, power management, sensor integration, and the overall electrical infrastructure that supports robot operations. They also maintain embedded code, ensure all connections are secure, and design PCBs for power management and failsafe operations. The team plans to design custom actuators next semester!
Mechanical Engineering Team
Responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of the physical structure and mechanical components of the robot, including aspects like mobility, stability, and mechanical integrations.
Marketing and Finance Team
Responsible for creating awareness about the project. Handles sponsorship and marketing for the team. Organizes outreach activities and public demonstrations.
