HUMANOID ROBOT CLUB PURDUE
800+ members
Since February 2024
Our Vision
“We will be the first group of students to build a walking humanoid robot that goes to space and does what an astronaut and a rover can and can not do.”

Our progress
(In 6 months)
(In 7 months - Started February 27, 2024)
Built 5 DOF Humanoid Legs that walk
Legs have direct-drive linkages. They walk in simulations, now we're testing in real life. Also manufacturing the 3D printed parts in Aluminum now.
1000+ members
We have 1000+ official students in the club along with 150+ active members that regularly attend the meetings. We had out first-ever callout (info session) and 300+ people showed up and had to stand on the sides. This makes us one of the biggest technical clubs at Purdue in the shortest time.
Appreciation from Purdue Leadership
We've Met with and been applauded by the Dean of Science, Engineering, Polytech, VP of Research, and the Heads of ME, ECE, AAE, IE, ChemE, BME, and CS.
$200,00+ in Sponsorship
We have 10+ corporate partners like AMD, Autodesk, Altium, Mouser Electronics, etc. We have also been sponsored by all relevant Purdue Engineering departments and Purdue Research. Throughout the year we host recruitment and networking events for our members, along with educational workshops.
8 Faculty Advisors
We have 8 faculty advisors from all relevant Engineering departments like ME, ECE, IE, etc. All of them have extensive experience in different aspects of robotics research that is very useful to our project.
Research & Conferences
We've been analyzing the Hubo Robot in Professor Yan Gu's lab to get useful inferences from it for our robot's design. We' also attended RISE (Robotics & International Systems Expo), one of the biggest robotics conferences in the Midwest, within 2 weeks of starting out the club where we met people from academia and shared our ambitious mission with them.
Brought Unitree & Ameca to Uni
We hosted an event celebrating 150 years of of the College of Engineering, featuring world’s most advanced humanoid robots, Ameca and Unitree G1, making their first appearance on campus. With over 500 attendees, including the Dean of Engineering and top professors, the event showcased cutting-edge robotics and sparked exciting discussions.
