Beginners and explorers
New to robotics or unsure where to start? We provide beginner-friendly workshops, guided projects, and a supportive environment to help you build confidence from the ground up.
About
Mission
A student-led community dedicated to fostering innovation, collaboration and learning in robotics, artificial intelligence and mechatronics.
We provide a platform for students of all backgrounds to explore, build and compete in the exciting world of robotics.
Robotics sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and intelligence, yet many students lack access to meaningful hands-on experience, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world problem solving.
The Robotics Society bridges this gap by fostering an open, student-driven community where theory becomes practice. We lower the barrier to building and experimentation, empowering students from diverse backgrounds to explore robotics beyond the classroom.
What we do
We design hands-on projects and workshops spanning the full robotics stack - from mechanical design and electronics to perception, control, and AI. Through project-based learning, industry talks, hackathons, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, members gain practical skills, research exposure, and engineering confidence.
Whether you're new to robotics or building advanced systems, we provide the platform, resources, and community to support your growth.
Who we are for
The Robotics Society is open to anyone curious about building intelligent machines - regardless of background or experience. Whether you're just getting started or aiming for cutting-edge research and industry roles, there's a place for you here.
Builders and engineers
For students who want to get hands-on. Work on real robotic systems, team-based projects, and competitions that span hardware, control, perception, and AI.
Researchers and innovators
Interested in advanced robotics, AI, or research-led projects? We support deeper exploration through research-oriented initiatives, collaborations, and industry exposure.
Join the society
Membership is open to all UCL students and affiliates, and includes workshops, socials and projects throughout the year.
