AzTech Engineering is comprised of nine San Diego State University seniors majoring in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Our company prides itself by introducing IronBot, a captivating autonomous robot able to maneuver through any obstacle. We are revolutionizing the way robotics are engineered in the world of technology today.
IronBot is a highly intelligent robot equipped with multiple sensors and programmable logic in order to autonomously navigate through an obstacle course without human guidance. Our purpose is to challenge other robot competitors in a similar environment to successfully complete and exceed results in comparison. AzTech Engineering is a group of lead engineers destined to create the winning robot in any challenge by tirelessly testing and simulating to obtain the adequate knowledge for improving our work.
