Projects
Current
UGV MK2 SPARTAN
Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Project is aimed at improving safety in the resources sector by autonomously mapping out hazardous environments reducing the risk of human fatalities.
The UGV serves as a platform for continuous development with students using it as a platform for their final-year projects. Students implement their researched solutions to the UGV to prepare it for its designed purpose in mining.
DRONE PROJECT
Drone Project aims to provide final-year students with a platform for learning aerial control systems while undertaking their research/thesis work.
Heavy focus is applied towards automating indoor navigation systems using sensor integration and the building of drones.
Previous
INFINITY MIRROR PROJECT
Initially intended to be a small-scale student clock project aimed at upskilling members to use Arduino interfaces. The clock project spiralled into a larger infinity mirror display.
It is used for open-day events and is capable of displaying the current time and animations. Currently it resides in the Robotics room located in building 5, room 237.
UGV MK1 JAGUAR
ECU Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Project is a student-led initiative intending to provide simple, effective and accessible robotic solutions for industry.
Mk1 Jaguar served as a gateway for learning robotics. Students initially used this as a platform to better understand the complications a robot may face in the resources industry, particularly around ever-changing terrain and reliability.
