ABOUT

Texas Aerial Robotics was founded in 2017 by a handful of UT students excited by the possibility of building a fully autonomous drone from scratch. That passion eventually led to TAR competing among top universities from around the world at the International Aerial Robotics Competition. Today, TAR provides undergraduate students with the opportunity and resources to work on cutting edge robotics.

  WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON THIS YEAR  

Our organization is dedicated to the design, development, and programming of a fully autonomous drone, with the goal of navigating a complex obstacle course by the end of the academic year. This ambitious project leverages the collaborative efforts of our hardware and software teams, working from the ground up to achieve full autonomy.

In addition, we are proud to have a team participating in the prestigious 2024 RTX Autonomous Vehicles Competition. This competition presents a unique pursuit-evasion challenge, where both aerial and ground robots are employed in dynamic and strategic environments
