RoboCamp is maintained and operated by the Multi-Agent Bio-Robotics Lab (MABL). MABL is part of the Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering Department within the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Our instructor staff is composed of currently enrolled undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D level college students at RIT. Additional camp counselors are recruited from local high-school, many of which are involved in First Robotics.

Joyce Keeriath

Hi! I’m Joyce, a fourth-year Electrical Engineering major at RIT and a Global Scholar student from RIT Dubai. As president of RIT Dubai’s AI & Robotics Center, I’ve led workshops and guided student teams in exploring robotics, embedded systems, and computer vision using Arduino and ESP32. During a past internship, I helped develop hands-on tech experiences designed to engage kids in STEM through interactive play and learning. I love empowering students to bring their ideas to life with code and creativity. Outside of engineering, I enjoy dancing, crocheting, watching reality TV and murder mysteries, and getting lost in a good drama series.

Vincent Eloy

Hey guys! I’m a master’s student in electrical engineering with a focus on robotics and artificial intelligence here at RIT. I’ve previously completed research and internship experiences in embedded systems, automation, robotic grasping, computer vision, and embedded systems. I am also part of the MABL Lab, where I’ll be contributing to research in human robot collaboration. Outside of class, I enjoy exploring open-source robotics projects, learning new AI tools, and assisting others in debugging their code. I’m also into football and occasionally get lost down YouTube rabbit holes.

Hello!!! I am Aryan Shah. Original from Surat, India and I am a 2nd year Aerospace Engineer (Mechanical) and Physics mjaor. Previously I have worked on a 1U CubeSat and Radiation Deflection software. I have expirence in Onshape, Matlab, Python, Arduino and LabVIEW. A massive physics nerd, book worm and Anime/Kdrama fan, (Some of my faorites in each genres: Kardashev scale, Angels and demon, One piece and Goblin: Lonely god) Looking forward to meeting you all.

Manali Dangarikar

Hi, I’m Manali! I’m a first-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at RIT, originally from India. I recently completed my master’s in Computer Engineering, and before that, I worked in the automobile industry for three years. During my undergrad, I was part of a team of women engineers that competed in the Asia-Pacific Robot Contest—two years in a row! I love all things robotics, tech, and teamwork, and I’m excited to share that passion with young minds at RoboCamp. When I’m not working or geeking out over cool projects, you’ll probably find me cooking (and eating!), watching sitcoms, or chatting with my mum back home over a cup of coffee.
