Our Meetings and Society Information
RSSC is an exciting and fun experimental robotics society formed in the late 1970's to meet the demand in interest in robotics in Southern California which to this day keeps on growing!. We meet once a month on the second Saturday of the month at California State University Long Beach in the Engineering Technology (ET) building, room 241 . Our meetings start at 10 AM with classes, special interest groups on different robotics subjects from simple to very complex. Anyone interested in robotics and other latest technologies such as 3D printing, Arduino maker movement, Particle, Raspberry Pi, Robotis, NAO, ROS Robot Operating System, InMoov, Lego, Artificial Intelligence of any age group and skill level is welcome to come to our meetings! We also have presenters from student projects, Battlebot builders to Mars rover drivers, movie and TV commercial robot builders and leaders from the robotics community. Stay up to date of what's going on by joining our mailing list! We are roboholics and love building autonomous robots!
Live in the Inland Empire in California please visit our sister club The Riverside Robotics Society
