About the Team

Open Robotics is dedicated to teaching valuable engineering skills, designing robots, and fostering an enriching environment. Our team is currently engaged in one major project: our Home-Assistant Robot.

Our most ambitious project is in the midst of a redesign as we refine our development processes. This is a perfect opportunity to get involved in the design, construction, and integration of a large-scale project. Utilizing ROS, the project is divided into five subteams: arm, drivetrain, gripper, power system, and software.
