// About us
Sund Robotics Club is a student-led technical organisation at NTNU Ålesund, founded to give students hands-on experience with robotics, autonomous systems, and the engineering challenges that matter most to industry.
// Our mission
To build technically ambitious, interdisciplinary projects that produce the kind of engineers, designers, and leaders that Norwegian industry actually needs.
We are based in Ålesund — one of Norway's most important hubs for maritime and ocean technology. We believe that a region with this much engineering heritage deserves a student environment where hands meet ideas, and where projects have real ambition behind them.
// Stats
// How we are structured
One central platform every department contributes to. The north star for the whole organisation.
Mechanics, electronics, software, energy systems, and communications — each with their own lead and roadmap.
Entry-level builds and experiments that let new members contribute from day one, regardless of experience level.
Documented processes and structured handoffs ensure the organisation outlasts any individual member.
// Flagship project
Our flagship is a ground-based robotic platform with a manipulator arm and sensor suite — designed from the start to evolve into a multi-domain system capable of operating on land, in the air, and on water. We build the platform in phases so every stage produces a working, demonstrable result.
// What we stand for
No single person should be able to take the organisation down with them when they leave. We build systems, not dependencies.
You do not need a robotics background to contribute. If you are curious and willing to work, there is a role for you here.
Everything we build is grounded in real engineering problems. We want our members to be ready for the industry before they graduate.
We set goals that stretch us. We document what works and what does not. We improve every semester.
// Where we come from
Sund Robotics Club was founded by students who saw a gap — not just in what was being built at NTNU Ålesund, but in how student organisations are built. Inspired by visits to leading European student robotics labs and connected to the international student robotics and rocketry community, we are building something designed to last well beyond its founding team.
