I am excited to contribute to the Robotics Society in a leadership role, leveraging my experience in robotics, teaching, and industry engagement to drive impactful initiatives. Having led a team of A-level students to design and build an Arduino-based robot to navigate an obstacle course for a competition, I developed strong leadership, problem-solving, and hands-on technical skills essential for managing projects and guiding teams.
Beyond building robots, I have a passion for teaching. My experience mentoring underprivileged children using LEGO Mindstorms strengthened my ability to break down complex concepts, making robotics accessible and engaging. I am eager to apply these skills by organizing workshops and structured learning opportunities that enhance both technical and interpersonal skills within the society.
Additionally, my leadership experience in the Energy Society equipped me with networking and sponsorship acquisition skills, allowing me to liaise effectively with industry professionals and secure funding. My time on the UCL Racing team further developed my ability to work under pressure, communicate effectively, and adapt quickly to challenges—skills crucial for managing robotics projects and competitions.
In any role, I will work to enhance learning, strengthen industry links, and foster a collaborative environment where members can develop their skills and push the boundaries of robotics. I look forward to building a stronger, more impactful Robotics Society.
As a Robotics and AI student with a deep passion for robotics, I’m committed to making the UCL Robotics Society bigger, better, and more impactful after a successful year. At school, I ran the science society, so I am used to some of the demands of running a society, but I am confident I can learn what is needed to maintain the well running of robotics society.
Continuity:
- Keep the social media platform running and try and reach out to more students on there.
- One core part of robotics society is the teaching aspect. I will keep the teaching events running and look to run them more frequently and at the same time every week, to allow people to attend when they want to without compromising other commitments with little notice.
- Run another competition next year similar to the sumobots with Flemsoc, and look to include some of the other tech based societies in to make the competition as good as possible with as many people as possible.
New ideas:
- Create an events coordinator role, enabling the society to run more frequent events with the help of the industry coordinators, resulting in at a minimum one event every two weeks.
- Run more events with other societies to get our name out there.
- Host a makeathon during the year, in collaboration with the Institute of Making or one of the labs around campus.
- To take advantage of the new robotics facilities at UCL East, more events will be held at UCL East, becoming one of the first non sport societies to have regular events there.
Hello, I’m Morgan Zhang, a first-year student studying Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. My journey with robotics began in middle school, and I have been deeply involved in the field ever since. I spent four years competing in VEX Robotics competitions during high school, where I honed my skills in design, programming, and teamwork. Beyond competitions, I have also worked on several independent robotics projects, exploring both hardware and software aspects. Now, in my first year of university, I am further advancing my knowledge through coursework and hands-on projects, continuously pushing my understanding of robotics to the next level.
My vision for the Robotics Society is to create a more engaging, collaborative, and impactful community where all members—beginners and experienced alike—can learn and grow. To achieve this, I will introduce a structured event schedule with regular workshops tailored to different skill levels, ensuring that both beginners and experienced members can benefit. I also want to foster a stronger project-based learning approach, where members collaborate on robotics prototypes—whether for competitions, startups, or personal innovation. Additionally, I aim to create more opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and teamwork, helping members connect and engage more actively. If possible, I will also support forming teams to participate in global robotics competitions, pushing our members to apply their skills in real-world challenges.
