Robotics Club of BRAC University - ROBU

It has always been about the people who "Dared to Dream"!

What began as a dream 15 years ago sparked a new era of robotics in Bangladesh and marked the beginning to the Robotics Club of BRAC University.

15 years! Legacy is real. Endless dream. Limitless inspiration. Professor Dr. Khalilur Rahman Sir along with a team of passionate minds turned that belief into reality with ChondroBot, laying the foundation of a journey that would inspire generations to build, innovate, and dream fearlessly.

Today, that legacy lives on in every student who stays late in the lab, takes on impossible challenges, and dreams of becoming part of something bigger than themselves -carrying the vision forward toward even greater horizons.

The 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 (IT) department makes astonishing digital designs and video contents for our social media pages, while simultaneously managing our website and vital digital systems. Their thoughtful contribution keeps our digital club image colorful, functional, and informative in every way possible.

They are the talented visual storytellers and technical minds who ensure that each post's content and our platforms are handled with creativity, skill, and proficiency. They help us to excel in online outreach and immersive presence all across digital platforms.

We are thrilled to announce the newly appointed DADS Body of brilliant minds who will lead the department through sincerity and generosity!

"Hard work is the key to success, but sometimes the key is hidden."

From the restless streets of Dhaka to the deep roots of our villages, wherever hands build, carry, and create, the beat of Bangladesh is its labour force. But we cannot romanticize their sweat while ignoring their reality. To this day, many of the unsung heroes who build our great nation suffer from inflation, withheld salaries, and unsafe working conditions.

Labour is not a commodity to be exploited; it is a life to be honoured.

On this May Day 2026, the Robotics Club of BRAC University honours the working spirit of these nation builders. We not only appreciate the comfort they bestow upon us, but we also stand with them in their struggle for rights, equity, and respect.

Respect all work. Honor every worker! 🛑✊

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” Buddha✨

Buddha Purnima is a powerful reminder of the life and message of Gautama Buddha. Marked by the three significant events in his life his birth, his enlightenment, and his Mahaparinirvana this auspicious day reminds us of the timeless principles of kindness, non-violence, and self-realization.

As prayers are chanted in temples across the country and incense is lit, it is a lovely occasion to meditate and breathe in compassion. The Buddha's journey to self-understanding reminds us that we are on our own path, but our awareness and compassion can help bring about a peaceful and equitable society for all.

The Robotics Club of BRAC University wishes you all a joyful Buddha Purnima. May the teachings and message of this day bring peace to your path and enlightenment to your heart. 🌸

"Small is beautiful, but big is necessary."
Today, we honour 90 years of a legacy that changed millions of lives. We remember Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, a visionary who built institutions from nothing, transformed communities through compassion, and proved that one person's unwavering belief in human potential could move an entire nation forward.

Leaving behind a successful corporate career, he founded BRAC now the world's largest non-governmental organisation. Through it, he pioneered microfinance, advanced public health, expanded education for the marginalised, and created sustainable livelihoods for millions. His model of inclusive progress became a global benchmark. Knighted for his extraordinary contributions, his legacy continues to shape resilient communities around the world.

𝐀 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞.
When BRAC Onnesha, Bangladesh's first satellite was launched into orbit, it was more than a technological milestone. It was a message. A message that Sir Fazle Hasan Abed believed in deeply, that Bangladesh was not only capable of surviving, but of reaching beyond the sky. He understood something profound, that when a nation sees its own name written in the stars, something shifts in the hearts of its young people. Creative minds begin to believe. Curious students stop asking "can we?" and start asking "what's next?" That satellite was small. But what it sparked was enormous.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠.
From the BRAC University Robotics LAB, established in January 2012, a generation of innovators was silently being shaped. International research papers. A submission to the NASA Lunabotics Mining Competition. The achievement of Bracu Chondrobot-2. And from that same laboratory, 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗖 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 (𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗨) 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻, giving students not just a club, but a calling to change the world, not just Bangladesh. And we never stopped thriving...

BRACU Mongol-Tori reached further still, a project that dared to look beyond this planet, carrying the ambition of a university that was taught from the very beginning to think without limits. BRACU Duburi took that spirit underwater an autonomous underwater vehicle pushing the boundaries of what Bangladeshi engineers could design and deploy. Project after project, year after year, BRACU students have carried this torch, competing internationally, publishing research, and returning home to build something lasting.

These are not just projects. They are proof. Proof that when you give young people a reason to believe, a satellite, a vision, a mentor who says "dream bigger" they do not disappoint.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞.
Sir Fazle Hasan Abed once said "Small is beautiful" and Robotics began here exactly that way. A small lab. A small satellite. A small club with big ideas.

But he also said "big is necessary." And today, we see what that means in full. ROBU alumni are leading robotics projects across multiple countries. They are building industries, founding startups, and engineering solutions right here in Bangladesh. What started as passion has become profession. What started as curiosity has become a tool for serving the nation.

He believed in building things that would outlive him. And so we build. Every circuit we design, every robot we programme, every student we welcome into this community, it is all connected to the thread he laid down. A university that launched a satellite. A laboratory that dared to compete with NASA. A club that taught students that Bangladesh belongs in every room, on every stage, in every frontier.

We at ROBU remember Sir Fazle Hasan Abed with deep respect, gratitude, and a quiet promise, that the creative minds he inspired will keep coming, keep building, and keep carrying this legacy forward.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐒𝐢𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐳𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐛𝐞𝐝.
Your vision lives on, in every satellite we trace across the night sky, and every innovation we build in your inspiration.

The 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 (A&D) department is home to an abundance of talent in various forms. They are in charge of the visual portrayal of the club and the stunning decorations during the different events we host.
