Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Robotics Club at Iowa State University is focused on bringing technical knowledge and interest in robotics to students at Iowa State University. During previous years, we have participated in competitions and outreach events at local schools and on the ISU campus. We have also focused our general meetings on introducing robotics concepts, research, and real-world implementation by inviting professors and students to speak on various topics related to robotics.
This year, there are three main projects: an autonomous snowplow, a lower-body exoskeleton suit, and combat robotics. The Autonomous Snowplow team is tasked with clearing a predetermined area of snow without any human input; they can only use algorithms, computer vision, and additional sensors. In January 2024, the team traveled to Minnesota to compete and placed 4th while gaining valuable experience.
Autonomous Snowplow CompetitionOur ExoSuit project is meant to provide external support to a person, increasing the possible weight lifted and extending the time before physical exhaustion. The team has redesigned the project in the past year and plans to compete next year. In the competition, the team will be scored on design, an obstacle course, and efficiency.
