UBC Thunderbird Robotics

Thunderbird Robotics is pleased to welcome the UBC Electric Car Club as a new team working together with our other project teams. We see the electrification of the North American transportation system as an important step towards creating a sustainable society that minimizes its use of non-renewable energy resources and the release of toxic emissions to the atmosphere.

The UBC Thunderbird Robotics Team was started in 2004 by students, faculty, staff, and members of the community at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, with the goal of researching and building autonomous vehicles and robots. The team is working on several projects, including a robotic soccer team, a fleet of autonomous remote-controlled cars, and a lunar excavator.

We are a nonprofit research group funded by the generous donations of our sponsors.
