We are UQ's student robotics society

A student-run organization within the University of Queensland, UQ MARS (Mechatronics and Robotics Society) is a community for anyone with a keen passion for the fields of robotics, mechatronics, and their applications. We aim to foster the development of the robotics skills of our members through a variety of extra-curricular activities, including competition teams, support workshops and social events. While primarily made up of engineering students, we welcome anyone looking to get involved.
