The RoboMaster University Series aims to promote national exchanges in robotic technology among universities. Participating teams must develop various functional robots and engage in strategic matches. The AIM team is composed of students from diverse academic backgrounds, including Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Computer Science. From first-year students to those nearing graduation, they come together, driven by a shared passion for robotics, focusing on innovation and development. These robots are not only crucial to achieving success in competitions; they also symbolise the team's ongoing exploration and breakthroughs in the field of robotics, embodying their innovative spirit. Throughout the preparation process, the team members worked tirelessly, debugging and troubleshooting their robots, and refining designs multiple times to ensure optimal performance.

The 2025 team captain, Xiuqi Wang, from Electrical and Electronic Engineering, shared that being a member of the Nottingham RoboMaster team has been both busy and rewarding over the past two years. He and his teammates not only needed to master extensive professional knowledge to support the development of robots but also had to maintain a high level of collaboration and a positive attitude within the team. Despite the challenges, the Faculty of Science and Engineering provided significant support, allowing them to balance their RoboMaster activities with maintaining strong academic performance.

The 2024 team captain, Yunlin Xiao, from Aerospace Engineering, expressed similar sentiments. He noted that his three years with the team not only allowed him to gain valuable engineering experience but also helped him better understand advanced technologies in his academic studies. These technologies made his coursework more accessible and contributed to the team's innovation projects, leading to multiple patent applications and published papers, significantly enhancing his academic achievements.

Yijie Yao, a key member of the mechanical team and marketing manager, majoring in Chemical Engineering, shared his experiences from his busy year with AIM. He gained a wealth of knowledge, learning about embedded systems like STM32, as well as computer modelling, simulation, and mechanical skills, including using CNC machines and 3D printers. This blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience greatly enriched his university life. Additionally, his efforts in securing sponsorships for the team from manufacturers laid a strong foundation for his future academic and career development.

The AIM team is directly affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering's Innovation Lab at UNNC, led by a group of supervisors headed by Dr C.F. Kwong. The team consists of young engineers from various disciplines and age groups, divided into three technical subgroups: mechanical, electrical, and algorithm. The members collaborate to develop and build robots with diverse functions, representing the university in the RMUC and RMUL competitions. The faculty's strong support has not only enabled the team to achieve breakthroughs this season but has also provided them with sustained motivation for future competitions. The team has already developed several innovative robots, such as a high-mobility six-degree-of-freedom parallel robot gimbal and a fourteen-sided six-axis robotic arm actuator, both of which demonstrate tremendous potential by pushing the boundaries of traditional design.
