ECLAIR Robotics

The Engineering and Computational Learning of Artificial Intelligence in Robotics (ECLAIR) is a club at UT Austin dedicated to helping all robot-loving students to transform their passionate robotics ideas into reality. We provide the robotics parts and teach members state-of-the-art machine learning techniques such as neural networks and reinforcement learning to give students the ability to pursue their robotics projects.

ECLAIR is built on the foundation of three core tenets:

Culture of Learning
All majors and students of all skill levels should be able to join any project of ECLAIR and learn through mentorship
Accessibility
Students should not have to put any of their own money towards the project. However, the hardware they use for the project must be returned to ECLAIR afterwards so that future projects may use them. Students should also not be required to pay dues
Education
ECLAIR will encourage outreach and education of the general public in robotics and AI

ECLAIR members work on one or more of our seven projects, all without spending a cent of their own money:

Autonomous Car: A car that drives without an operator.

CRACKLE: A recreation of the Robotic Arm Dum-E from Iron Man.

DuckDuckFlow: A network of wireless, solar-powered flood sensors for deployment in remote, flood-prone zones.

EPIC: A robot that can balance on two wheels.

Texel Arts: A computer vision project that turns video footage into blender animations.

TRACE: A robot that can balance a ball to trace routes on a platform.

Beginner's Track: An beginner-friendly project that introduces the basics of making robots, including CAD, fabrication, electronics, and programming.
