The Advanced Robotics Centre (ARC) is an interdisciplinary research centre established in 2013 by the College of Design and Engineering and the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore.

ARC serves as a central hub for robotics research across NUS, bringing together researchers from multiple departments and schools. As both a virtual and physical space, the Centre supports collaboration, shared research initiatives, and the visibility of robotics research within and beyond the University.
