IEEE City St George’s Robotics Society

The IEEE City St George’s Robotics Society is a student-led community for anyone passionate about robotics, technology, and innovation. We provide hands-on opportunities for students of all levels to explore robotics through workshops, hackathons, competitions, and industry collaborations.

Bringing together members from City St George’s University of London, we’re proud to be one of the most active and diverse STEM societies on campus. Our community brings together students from engineering, computing, biomedical, and other disciplines, encouraging creativity and teamwork in everything we do.

Each year, we host exciting events such as the Hack-A-Health Hackathon, End of the Line Competition, and RoboWars, along with regular technical workshops, socials, and outreach activities. Our goal is to create an inclusive and inspiring space where students can learn, connect, and bring their ideas to life, while building valuable technical and professional skills for the future.

2024/2025 Highlights

Hack-A-Health Hackathon

We hosted the three-day Hack-A-Health Hackathon, where students developed innovative solutions to real-world healthcare challenges.

Partnering with organisations such as Ansys, Le Wagon, Hackathons UK, Code for Life, and Naked Energy, participants took part in workshops, mentorship sessions, and networking opportunities.

The event inspired students to turn ideas into impactful projects aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-Being.

End of the Line Competition

Our annual End of the Line competition returned as an inter-university event for the first time, bringing together students from across London to design, build, and program autonomous robots capable of completing complex tracks at high speed. The competition tested creativity, problem-solving, and precision, celebrating innovation and engineering excellence.

RoboWars 2025

In March, the IEEE CSG Robotics Society partnered with KCL Robotics Society to host RoboWars 2025, a combat robotics competition where student-built robots battled it out in a live arena. The event showcased mechanical design, control systems, and teamwork under pressure, with judges recognising creativity, innovation, and technical mastery.

Engineering Showdown

In collaboration with the Engineering Student Representatives, we co-hosted the Engineering Showdown, a multi-round challenge bringing together students from Civil, Mechanical, Aeronautical, Biomedical, and Electrical Engineering.

Participants competed in three rounds, including an engineering quiz, a “Protect the Egg” design challenge, and a rapid-fire problem-solving session. The event encouraged interdisciplinary teamwork, creativity, and friendly competition within the department.

Society Awards 2025

The IEEE City St George’s Robotics Society was proud to be shortlisted for multiple awards at the City Students’ Union Society & Carrot Awards 2025, including Employability Society of the Year and Event of the Year.

These nominations recognised the society’s continued impact in creating hands-on learning opportunities, industry engagement, and an inclusive community for STEM students.

Collaborative Socials and Community Events

Throughout the year, we strengthened our sense of community through fun and collaborative events. From welcome mixers to themed game nights and joint socials with other societies, these gatherings helped students connect, share ideas, and celebrate their shared passion for robotics and technology.

Projects

Micromouse Competition 

The much anticipated MicroMouse competition took place on the 3rd April 2024 where 14 powerhouse teams, of 85+ brilliant minds, went head-to-head in a thrilling tournament-style battle with cutting-edge robots to navigate mazes, competing fiercely to claim the title of the fastest maze-solver!

Tech Summit 

This event was a Robotics Summit in collaboration with King's College London Tech Society. It featured speakers across the robotics field that explored various advancements and application of robotics in areas such as space exploration, soft robotics, and human-interaction with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion within the sector. In addition, this event was an opportunity to network with like-minded Individuals and experts to delve further into the world of robotics. 

Events/Socials

Robotics X Japanese society games night

This event was a social event in collaboration with the Japanese society with interactive team working activities and games.

These fun games provided a networking opportunity and aimed to bridge gaps and foster a sense of community within and beyond STEM disciplines. 

Micromouse Kickoff Social 

A social event to celebrate the end of exams and to introduce the Micromouse project for the term.

It gave a chance to delve into creative and innovative ideas for the upcoming tournament style battle where cutting-edge robots navigated mazes, competing fiercely to claim the title of the fastest maze-solver. 

IEEE Day Celebration 

The IEEE City Robotics Society made history on the 11th of October 2023 by hosting a social event, a celebration in honour of IEEE Day. The vibrant gathering took place in ELG15 from 15:30 to 17:30, promising attendees an afternoon filled with engaging activities, opportunities to make new connections, and the irresistible allure of free food. With an open invitation to everyone, regardless of their academic background, the event aimed to bridge gaps and foster a sense of community within and beyond STEM disciplines. 

  • Unveiling the Success: The success of the event surpassed all expectations, transforming the venue into a hub of excitement and camaraderie. As attendees filled ELG15, a palpable sense of enthusiasm and curiosity set the stage for an unforgettable experience. 
  • Engaging Activities: The event featured a carefully curated set of activities designed to captivate minds and encourage interaction. From interactive robotics demonstrations to hands-on workshops, attendees had the chance to delve into the world of technology and innovation. These activities not only showcased the marvels of robotics but also provided a platform for knowledge exchange and skill development. 
  • Networking Opportunities: One of the event’s highlights was the opportunity it provided for attendees to expand their networks. Students, professionals, and staff from various backgrounds converged, sparking conversations that transcended disciplinary boundaries. The event served as a melting pot for diverse ideas, experiences, and perspectives, creating a rich tapestry of connections that will likely extend far beyond the event itself.
