About the club

Who are WE?

WE Bots is the Western Engineering Robotics Club. We give students an accessible place to learn, build, test, and lead robotics projects, regardless of their previous experience.

Our main project is TITAN, a 6-foot tall autonomous humanoid robot, the first of its kind built by an undergraduate engineering student club in Canada!

In-person meetings are currently on hold, enjoy the summer and see you next semester!

Our goal

Building towards the FIRA HuroCup

At WE Bots, we are developing TITAN to complete at the FIRA Hurocup. Our goal is to build the skills, documentation, hardware, and controls needed to work toward competing regularly in the future.

What

The HuroCup is an annual humanoid robot competition where robots compete in a variety of olympic-style events like weightlifting, archery, and more.

When

The current timeline projects TITAN to be ready for competition at the 2028 FIRA Canadian Open.

How

With your help of course! We look forward to seeing passionate individuals join the effort to make the project truly something special.

How we work

No experience required. No rigid subteam boxes.

Previously WE Bots structured itself into mechanical, electrical, and software subteams. We are currently moving away from this, offering a more flexible project-based structure. Members can contribute wherever they are interested and wherever the robot needs work.

Design & Build

CAD, 3D printing, machining, prototyping, mechanisms, frames, joints, and robot assembly.

Electronics & Power

Battery systems, wiring, voltage regulation, motor control, sensors, embedded devices, and safe integration.

Controls & Autonomy

Robot control, simulations, communications, software tools, perception, testing scripts, and autonomous behavior.

Operations & Outreach

Documentation, recruitment, sponsorship, website updates, events, onboarding, and keeping the club organized.

Recognition

Hall of Fame

Each year, WE Bots recognizes the active members who contributed to the club, the robot, and the community around the project.

Rosters
