Bong Jia Yao

Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineering

Interested in robotics with a focus on mechanical design and system dynamics. Contributed to the project by designing the robotic arm and end effector, performing actuator and component selection, and improving motion stability through vibration reduction, damping, and iterative testing.

Muhammad Muaadh

Autonomous Typing Engineer

Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering student working on autonomous typing for the Mars Rover team. I lead the robotic arm's typing system using computer vision and ArUco markers. When I'm not coding robots, I'm probably catching up on sleep.

Mike

Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineering

I like to build and fix stuff. I've been interested in robotics since primary school.

Manya Gupta

Control Systems Software Engineer

Electrical Engineering

Hardware builder obsessed with making electrons behave and machines move. I once almost set my lab on fire during a test, which felt like an honest introduction to hardware. Now I build robots, systems, and prototypes that survive slightly longer than my early experiments.

Autonomous Navigation

Siddhant Narayan Singh

Team Lead

Computer Engineering

Someone who's not always thinking about engineering, but often thinking about how things fit together. I enjoy understanding how systems behave, where they break, and how they can be improved. Whether it's a prototype or a team project, I like building, iterating, and learning along the way.

Eugene Quek

Software Engineer

Computer Engineering

I enjoy working hard when it matters the most and helping my teammates with any situation. I also enjoy playing video games a lot.

Smeet Ronak

Software Engineer

Computer Engineering

I enjoy software, logical reasoning and problem solving. Usually working on something new, debugging something old, or figuring out why a certain bug fixed itself.

Kim Seung Hyun

Software Engineer

Wu Haolun

Software Engineer

Sangjun Nam

Software Engineer

Science

Marcus Lee Wei

Team Lead

Electrical Engineering

Lifelong maker and hobbyist leading our science subsystem to greater heights in URC2026/27. Skilled in CAD, electronics and always open to learn new things, I intend to help create a competitive subsystem on the international stage.

Seow Cheng Si

Software and Electronics Engineer

Computer Engineering

Responsible for the Software and Electronics Integration of various parts of the Science Subsystem, and designing the GUI for operator control through the whole pipeline in the Science Mission.

Guda Omkar

Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineering

I'm a Y2 ME student who enjoys CAD and mechanical design.
