Voice-Controlled. AI-Powered. Student-Made. Meet P.U.L.S.E.

We are a team of passionate STEM students from the University of Texas at San Antonio, representing a collaborative effort between the UTSA Chapters of SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Together, we are building something groundbreaking: Project P.U.L.S.E. – a Programmable Unit for Learned Systems with Embedded Artificial Intelligence.

Project P.U.L.S.E. is a fully student-led initiative to design, engineer, and bring to life a robotic quadruped equipped with voice command interaction, autonomous navigation, and embedded artificial intelligence. It is more than just a robot; it is a platform for innovation, learning, and inspiration.

Our mission is to create a system that demonstrates real-time responsiveness and AI integration and inspires future generations of students, particularly from underrepresented communities, to explore STEM, robotics, and emerging technology. This is our way of showing what is possible when diverse, driven minds come together with a shared vision.

With your support, we can bring this vision to life.

Your donation will help us source the materials we need—from structural components and sensors to embedded systems—to complete our prototype. Every contribution brings us closer to building something that reflects not just our technical skills but also our resilience, passion, and collaboration.

Help us empower the next generation of engineers. Help us make P.U.L.S.E. real!

Thank you for believing in students, STEM, and the future we are building.
