Overview

The Robotics Institute offers a wide range of multidisciplinary research programs and facilities in different fields of non-industrial robotic applications. These facilities include three robot arms, virtual reality platforms, microcontroller development kit sets, and a variety of sensors, such as force, displacement, vision, and ultrasound. The lab also provides an extensive selection of commercial and in-house software packages, catering to both general and specific purposes. These include general-purpose programming languages, the Unity Real-Time Development Platform and CAD design tools.

In our lab, highly qualified personnel (HQP) will receive hands-on training in biomedical robotics, machine learning, assistive robotic technologies, app development, and advanced mechatronic techniques. These in-demand and versatile skill sets are not only valuable across a range of industries but also highly adaptable to the evolving needs of the global economy. This comprehensive training will empower trainees with the expertise, confidence, and career security needed to thrive in a competitive job market. Moreover, equipping HQP with cutting-edge technical competencies enables them to make meaningful contributions to the Canadian innovation ecosystem and broader industrial landscape.
