Glad you asked! Our goal is
to design robots for various purposes – to solve certain real-world issues,
compete in robot competitions, and more! As an academic club, we strive to help
bolster members’ engineering skills by providing an outlet through which their
abilities and knowledge can be applied. In addition to building robots as a
team, we hold mentorships, where students can work one-on-one with team leads to
complete personal projects. The team also hosts social and professional events
designed to gather students together and prepare them for future
internship/career opportunities!
Any and all Stony Brook students, regardless of their major, year and/or experience level can join the robotics team.
You can contribute as much (or as
little) as you wish – you aren’t obligated to do any level of work!
Additionally, the work you put in can be in different forms, whether it’s
working on the team’s current main project, assisting at events, etc.
The robotics team is composed of three main engineering groups:
mechanical, electrical, and software. The mechanical team is often responsible
for the structural design of the robots (i.e. CAD work, assembly). The
electrical team works to find efficient power solutions for the robots (i.e.
circuitry). The software team handles the controls of the robot by
creating/implementing code. You can join any of these groups, and even be
involved in more than one!
The Lab is located in the Basement
of the Heavy engineering Building.

Robotics is a multidisciplinary field that requires collaboration between people
with diverse skills, from mechanical fabrication to computer vision. Regardless
of what you are passionate about and what you want to achieve, there will be
ample opportunity to take on interesting challenges and learn something
new.
Joining our Business Endeavors team will help you gain marketing and
event management skills.
You can contact us through our email: robotics_team@stonybrook.edu
Absolutely! We are
dedicated to providing our members with skills and experience necessary to
succeed.
Our mentorship program, workshops, and annual Internal Competition will help
you get started by teaching you the fundamentals of robotics, engineering, and
more!
No problem! We are always
looking for passionate and dedicated students to join us. You can generally join
us and get involved during any semester.
We will also be hosting a series of introductory robotics workshops
throughout the year. This may be a good opportunity to learn more and see if
robotics is the field for you.
While we do not have any time
commitment requirements, we encourage all of our members to dedicate as much as
they feel is necessary to accomplish their tasks.
All of our projects happen because our dedicated members are excited and
passionate about the work that they do. We hope that you too will feel the same
about the projects that you participate in.
Certainly! While we do
encourage our members to take their workload into account before making a
commitment, you have the freedom to be part of as many engineering teams and
projects as you wish, if you feel you are capable of making the necessary time
commitment.
