We host in-person meetings every Friday @12pm to 2pm
Location: EPL (FAB 84)
Today, Robotics has become apart of 'Cutting Edge' technology. Getting into this area is difficult and most don't know where to start. PSU MCECS has a few courses in this field, however they require some pre-requisite knowledge. In order to prepare PSU student for these advancements in technology, the PSU Viking Robotics Society (VRS) was formed. VRS works to provide all PSU students with opportunities to learn about the field of Robotics through the use of hands-on projects, participation in competitions, and collaborations with PSU MCECS laboratories as well as external organizations local to the Portland Metro community.

Student - led Projects
Student - led Projects
The Viking Robotics Society focuses a majority of its energy toward designing and building robotics projects. These projects are student-led and aim bring about new robotics technology to PSU. Projects can be physical or virtual and range in application, meaning that realistically any PSU student can contribute in some form. Visit our projects page or GitHub to see what our members are currently working on!

Perhaps one of the most prevalent questions by student who want to learn Robotics is "Where do I get started?" Unfortunately there is no real straight forward answer. However, VRS members work to provide OPEN SOURCE resources that students can use to gain a basic understanding of Robotics. This gives our incoming members and PSU students an introduction to the field of Robotics.
Community Events
Community Events
The field of Robotics and the Robotics industry has numerous avenues, research, and applications in our world today. In order to inspire and provide a foundation for interest, VRS hosts a variety of community events that are open to all students and individuals or the Portland Metro community. These events can include RoboTalks (Seminars), RoboCompetition, Demo presentations, and other presentations by organizations or faculty members.
VRS hosted Competitions
VRS hosted Competitions
Viking Robotics Society strongly believes that a great way to learn about robotics is to participate in competitions to gain interest as well as curiosity in the field. VRS hosts its own robotics competitions for PSU students to participate in. The following are some of the Robotics competitions VRS hosts:
RoboDuels
RoboBattle
Robot Agility Course Challenge (RACC)
Robot Soccer
