LoRE is the League of Robotics Engineers!
LoRE is a student organization dedicated to robotics education and robotics research.
LoRE was founded by the Collaborative Robotics Lab in the Polytechnic Institute, but students of all colleges are welcome to participate.
LoRE performs outreach and has relationships with Mount St. Mary's University, an Hispanic Women's university in LA, and Berea College in Kentucky.
KNOY 500 autonomous car race is co-sponsored by LoRE.

LEAGUE OF ROBOTIC ENGINEERS

League Of Robotic Engineers (LoRE) serves as a facilitating organization to promote the technological innovation and the representatives of the community of student innovators at Purdue University. LoRE club is a platform for the students at Purdue to learn and exercise the emerging technologies such as Robotics, Machine Learning and IoT through hands-on learning sessions, seminars, and workshops. The club also engages in outreach programs to teach Robotics through workshops for the local community in the Greater Lafayette area, and also extend the outreach programs across the State of Indiana and nationwide.

The club activities for every semester involves conducting hands-on workshops and seminars. The workshop sessions are focused on both basic and advanced level robotics. These sessions are conducted primarily by the graduate students, who have expertise on various topics, with support from undergraduate students. LoRE sessions are great opportunities for the undergraduate students at Purdue University, to build their skills.

LoRE, in collaboration with Robotics Accelerator, brings forward some of the greatest minds at Purdue and across various universities in USA, through the robotics seminar series. These bi-weekly seminars exposes the state-of-the-art research and industrial robotics to the students at Purdue University. The students also get benefit from networking with the speakers and opportunities to work in various fields of robotics.

In addition to the workshop sessions, LoRE acts as a bridge between undergraduates and robotics research labs at Purdue University. LoRE enables undergraduates who have acquired the skills through the sessions, to participate in research in these labs. The workshop sessions are focused on teaching skills and tools necessary for robotics research in labs or industries. Thus, LoRE serves as a platform for undergraduates to acquire highly relevant skills to obtain co-ops and internships.

Finally LoRE organizes summer project sessions, where undergraduates with requisite skills can work on their own projects. They will work as a team to bring to life their ideas, while being mentored by experienced graduate students. LoRE will provide the mentorship and equipment necessary for these projects. As a part of LoRE club, the graduate students also benefit from the workshops sessions, by building teaching and leadership skills, and recruiting undergraduate researchers who can assist their research.
