Monash Automation is a place to put what you learn at university into practice, take ownership of real projects and leave with skills that are difficult to develop in the classroom alone.
You don't need to arrive with a fixed technical stream. A mechanical engineer might work on control software, a software student might help manufacture a prototype, and a first-year member might work beside someone completing their final year.
Members develop practical skills in design, manufacturing, electronics, programming, simulation, project management and teamwork, and learn how those areas come together when you're responsible for making something actually work.
Systems and Infrastructure members keep the team running smoothly by maintaining IT systems, lab resources, and internal processes.
Ideal for: students interested in IT systems, operations, or technical infrastructure.
Sustainability Specialists align environmental goals with technical constraints to ensure projects are both eco-friendly and practically feasible.
Ideal for: students interested in lifecycle thinking, sustainable design, and implementing green solutions in real life.
LCA Specialists conduct data-driven assessments of products and lab processes to provide technical insights for sustainable decision-making.
Ideal for: students interested in environmental impact analysis, data modelling, and applying lifecycle thinking.
The Creative Director leads visual branding, creating social media and promotional materials to ensure a consistent, professional presence across all our channels.
Ideal for: students interested in graphic design, branding, and visual storytelling.
Outreach Team Members engage the community with robotics through hands-on workshops and public demonstrations that inspire the next generation of engineers.
Ideal for: students interested in community engagement, event coordination, and public speaking.
