  2. Introduction • We integrate Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science together in our projects so there is a lot to do in each field. • All of our project teams design and build robots for events at RoboGames which will be held June 16-18 in San Francisco. • Currently we are planning to enter with two robots: • The Battlebot • RoboMagellan **The Fire-Fighting robot was cancelled for Fall quarter due to no participants. UCLA Robotics Club

  3. Project Summaries • Battlebot • 60 lb or 120 lb RC combat robot • RoboMagellan • Larger (4’x4’) autonomous robot which navigates a 300’ outdoor course using GPS, image processing, and other sensors • FireFighting Robot • Small autonomous robot which navigates a maze and puts out a candle. UCLA Robotics Club

  4. Battlebot Project • Building a combat robot in the 60-120 lb weight class as a joint project with ASME. Our weapon is going to be a powerful drum. We have designed our robot and now need to order parts. • Mainly Mechanical and Electrical challenges. • Team: Anna Davitian, Jeff O’Donohue, Steven Snyder, Marianne So, John Dimalanta, Ryan Fix, Clay McKell, Jacob Hull. • We have applied for funding from the MAE Department as a joint project with ASME. Robotics received $78 from them. UCLA Robotics Club

  5. RoboMagellan Project • This is an autonomous robot that will be able to navigate outdoors using GPS waypoints, rangefinders, and a variety of other sensors. The robot must complete a 300 foot long course over varied terrain; avoiding trees, bushes, and other obstacles along the way. At the end of the course it must use a digital camera and image processing to locate and approach an orange traffic cone. • Team: Jon Binney, John Propst, Greg Fiore, Jenny Ji, Virginia Yee, Alex Lea, Josephine Chen, Vishwa Gouda. • We’ve been searching for corporate sponsors and have found two, RoboDynamics and Evolution Robotics, who have donated $250 to this project. UCLA Robotics Club

  6. Firefighting Robot Project • Our robot will navigate a scale mockup of a house, then find and extinguish a candle which represents the fire. The robot can be maximum of about one foot by one foot, and one foot high. The arena is approximately 8 feet by 8 feet square. • We did not place last year, but with our new experience we are confident that we will this year. • Team: was cancelled for Fall.

  7. Conclusion • We hold monthly general meetings open to all students and each project holds weekly team meetings. More info about meetings and projects posted on our website: www.seas.ucla.edu/robotics For questions, please email: ucla.robotics@gmail.com UCLA Robotics Club
