UTRA

UTRA is the face of robotics at the University of Toronto (U of T). We design and build robots to compete in international competitions like RoboGames and the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition, among others. We have five different subteams that work independently and also host talks and workshops. Our mission is to foster interest in robotics and teach anybody who is interested all that they need to know to be able to contribute... With the momentum of success at RoboGames, UTRA expanded to new projects-the Autonomous Firefighter Robot and RoboSoccer-and it obtained space and partnerships with external organizations, such as TD and the U of T Engineering Society. UTRA joined with UTAIR, the U of T Artificial Intelligence and Robotics club, to work together on the Firefighter project, while Combat remained UTRA's flagship team... In 2008, under new leadership, UTRA established the Sumo program, fostering spirited in-house competition among teams and a strong learning experience..
