ARC currently holds shop space at BIDC. Students can use this space for manufacturing and assembling parts, hosting project meetings and storing equipment.
Anyone looking to use the space must complete the required trainings. To do this, join the BIDC group on passport and obtain the following badges:
Additional badges are required for manufacturing tasks such as using the drill press, vertical bandsaw, etc.
BIDC only grants ARC a limited number of positions for people with card swipe access. Because of this, we try to equally divide those with access across each project.
To have a meeting at BIDC, you need to ensure at least one of the attending members will have swipe access to let everyone else in.
The current swipe list is:

James Baxter (baxter26 at purdue.edu)
Robert Ketler (rketler at purdue.edu)
ARC maintains two 3D printers within the shop space:
Tony: Monoprice Maker Select 2
Chelsea: Creality CR-6 SE
If you have an interest in using either printer, reach out in the ARC discord under the "3D printing" channel.

The Autonomous Robotics Club of Purdue was created to grow the skills and abilities of its members through design projects centered around advanced autonomous robotics systems. It provides hands-on, real world experience to interdisciplinary teams using industry standard tools and practices.
Through ARC, members can meet like-minded individuals, solve real world robotics problems, gain experience with industry-standard tools, and build their career portfolios. We welcome new members of any skill level and provide an environment for members to learn about topics such as state estimation, control algorithms, and machine learning. New members have opportunities for leadership early on and can gain in depth experience working on projects that interest them. ARC projects typically include a mix of hardware and software design.
Current ARC supports five projects:
Rocket League: Teaching a system of autonomous, scaled vehicles to play head-to-head in a game of high speed soccer.
: Creating a giant, self-playing chess board inspired by the Harry Potter universe.
: Creating a biologically-inspired manipulator capable of playing the piano.
: Developing a UAV platform capable of autonomously delivering small packages.
: A groundbreaking fusion of a drone and a robotic dog, featuring autonomous navigation and camera/lidar vision
More information about all of these projects can be found on .
Each semester, students are encouraged to pitch ideas for new projects that match the interests of the club. Purdue ARC prides itself on being a self-guided exploration of state-of-the-art problems within autonomous robotics.
