IEEE Robotics And Automation Society (RAS)

Who we are:

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) is an undergraduate robotics student organization striving to serve a diverse community of students. We are open to students of all years, majors, and experience levels! 

What we do:

RAS has competitive and non-competitive committees for students to participate in.

Our competitive committees include:

• Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC): An autonomous vehicle designed to overcome obstacles and reach the end of its course.
• Robotathon: A competition hosted by RAS that helps students learn the basics of robotics by teaching them how to use different sensors and code in C.
• RoboMaster: Came in 4th place nationally at the 2022 competition! A video game-style competition where teams must defend their base and throw small balls at their opponents.
• Vex U: Our committee develops two autonomous and teleoperated robots from scratch to compete against other universities in unique “sport-like” challenges every year.

               *In collaboration with ASME and Texas Inventionworks, we had a debut "battle bots" like competition for our students to participate in this semester.

Our non-competitive committee is:

• Demobots: Students are encouraged to use their creativity to create robots for demos and outreach. 
• Corporate/Fundraising: An opportunity for students to meet company representatives, plan events for companies to meet our members, and plan fundraising events.
