Who Are We?

UBC Rover is a multidisciplinary team of 64 students at the University of British Columbia dedicated to designing and building the next generation of semi-autonomous Mars rovers. Competing in the University Rover Challenge, we push the boundaries of robotics through six specialized sub-teams: Chassis, Arm, Software, Science, Electrical, and Business. From machine-learning-driven navigation to innovative swappable end-effectors, we combine technical excellence with community outreach to inspire the next wave of STEM leaders.

Since our inception, we have strived to push the boundaries of student robotics, earning top placements at the University Rover Challenge (URC) and the Canadian International Rover Challenge (CIRC).

Sponsor Us

External support is the engine behind our innovation. As a student-led team, we rely on strategic sponsorships and community funding to design, build, and deploy our rovers on the world stage. In appreciation of your partnership, we are proud to feature your brand on our competition apparel, digital platforms, and directly on the rover chassis as it tackles the toughest terrains.
