Introduction
The Robotics and Innovation Club (RIC) of Bangladesh Army University of Science and Technology (BAUST), Khulna, is a student-led platform dedicated to nurturing curiosity, creativity and practical engineering skill among students. Formed under the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, the club brings together students who are passionate about robotics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence and hands-on innovation.
Through workshops, project-building sessions, competitions and seminars, RIC aims to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application — giving members the tools, mentorship and community they need to design, build and showcase their own robotics and technology projects.
