FORTEFIBRE - KYOTO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROBOCON PROJECT

Strong fibres,
tightly knit.

Mechanical, circuits, control — each of us builds our own skills, and together we knit them into a single robot. We are the robocon team of Kyoto Institute of Technology.

ABOUT US

As a “joint student–faculty project” at Kyoto Institute of Technology, we aim for victory at the annual NHK Student Robocon. Building a robot with expertise across mechanical design, circuits, and programming is a rare and valuable experience you cannot get elsewhere in university life.

Mechanical Design

We design the whole robot and fabricate parts from metal and plastic. This is the foundation of making: turning ideas into reality.

Hands soldering components onto a board
Control board layout designed in KiCad

Circuits

We design and build the electronic circuits that drive the robot — the bridge between software and hardware.

Control

Using various tools and technologies, we make the robot move. From tech selection through testing, we own the whole pipeline for fast, precise motion.

With the best teammates,
take on the greatest challenge.

If you love making things or want to try something new, you are welcome. Come experience the most intense chapter of student life with the best teammates.
