Automation and Robotics Club (IEEE RAS & ARC)

PSUT’s branch of the ARC club was established in 2018. The club aims to educate students and increase their knowledge of robotics, and electronic and mechanical systems to build a community for those interested in robotics at the university. This club also conducts training courses related to robotics and engineering fields, assists students in their projects and research, and presents students' projects to external delegations that visit the university.
