About Team Proboticists
We are a hands-on robotics team building next-generation autonomous robots. By integrating advanced hardware, embedded systems, and intelligent software, we transform ideas into high performance robotic systems through rapid iteration and real-world testing.
Breakthroughs
ProPup Feet Adaptive Design
Mechanically compliant feet for enhanced grip and terrain adaptability.
End Effector for Mars Rover
Multi-purpose manipulator for off-world soil sampling and analysis.
Competitions
Project S.U.M.M.E.R
A summer training program designed to equip enthusiastic students with practical robotics skills, guided by experienced roboticists, so they are ready to work hands-on from day one.
Mechanical
Built a URC-style manipulator end-to-end. Chose DOFs and link lengths, derived IK, selected materials/actuators, modeled in Fusion, validated in ANSYS, finalized fasteners/BOM, and exported URDF & G-code for prototyping.
Embedded & Controls
From sensors to closed-loop motion. Simulated and interfaced STM32/Arduino, practiced I2C/UART/SPI/CAN, batteries & BMS, PCB design in Altium, RTOS/wireless, and implemented PID + filtering with MATLAB/ROS.
Perception
From pixels to 3D understanding. Image formation, OpenCV/Mediapipe pipelines, edges & features, stereo depth, LiDAR in RViz, and YOLO-based detection/tracking—delivered through mini-projects and pose-estimation work.
Current Projects
Pro-Pup
Pro-pup is Team Proboticists' flagship half-scale quadruped, built for both plain and off-road terrains. With 360° vision and dynamic locomotion, it's designed for the future of robotics in human-made environments.
Polarix
Our Mars Rover is built for URC and IRC, tackling planetary exploration with rugged mobility, sample collection, and autonomous navigation—bridging competition challenges with real-world space missions.
