The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Robotics & Automation Society (IEEE-RAS) at The University of Texas at Austin inspires greater research into the field of robotics and aims to make robotics more accessible to persons of all ages and backgrounds. Our group has a large majority of undergrads with backgrounds from mechanical, electrical, aerospace engineering and computer science, but we are open to all majors and anyone interested in technology and robotics. We help students gain practical multi-disciplinary experience in the lab and demonstrate our abilities at various competitive robotics competitions across the nation. We place high priority on our outreach activities which include participation in events on campus and mentoring of local high schools in the Austin area.
