Our Team
Every member of the Humanoid design team is an undergraduate student from McGill University, experienced in and passionate about the field of robotics. The team is entirely powered by undergraduate students; staying organized, making design decisions, and implementing every system of the robot entirely autonomously.
We employ a horizontal hierarchy, to enable each individual to make meaningful contributions to the project, and take ownership of their designs.

The FIRA Hurocup Competition
Website"The HuroCup competition emphasizes the development of flexible, robust, and versatile robots that can perform many different tasks in different domains. HuroCup encourages research into the many areas of humanoid robotics, especially walking and balancing, complex motion planning, and human robot interaction. In addition to the single events (e.g., archery, sprint, marathon, united soccer, obstacle run, long jump, spartan race, marathon, weightlifting, and basketball), there is an all-round competition for the single robot that performs best over all events."
