- Create a community for all the graduate students in Robotics by organizing events that promote social interaction and a feeling of camaraderie among the students.
- Support the professional and academic development of the students and alumni of Robotics.
- Promote the growth of robotics and STEM fields as a whole through organizing and participating in community outreach and service.
