Wolverbot Kickers

WolverBot Kickers is the University of Michigan’s humanoid robotics project team, building humanoid robots that can perceive, walk, recover, and play soccer autonomously. We start in CAD by designing and iterating parts and assemblies, creating mounts and brackets, and preparing designs for manufacturing/3D printing. From there, we build and integrate the hardware, then wire and validate the electrical system, including power distribution, motor control, and sensors. Finally, we bring it to life in software with ROS 2, perception, localization, motion and controls, plus full system integration from simulation to the real robot. We also handle sponsorship, budgeting, outreach, and project planning to keep the build moving and get the robot competition ready.
