IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
The CSME awards are presented biannually to members of the society for their outstanding contributions to specific areas of mechanical engineering in Canada.
aUToronto has placed first in an intercollegiate challenge to transform an electric car into a self-driving one — their third consecutive win. The team also took the top overall prize for the most cumulative points over the three years of the AutoDrive Challenge.
Congratulations to STARS Lab members Matt Giamou and Valentin Peretroukhin, winners of the 2020 Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) Best Student Paper Award.
Prof. Eric Diller has been awarded the McCharles Prize for Early Career Research Distinction, in recognition of his exceptional performance and distinction in early career research. Diller’s research focuses on developing miniature robots which can be wirelessly controlled just like full-sized robots. His goal is to enable a radically new approach to medical procedures and create an entirely new set of scientific tools.
Sun and collaborators plan to improve on their current heart perfusion system designs by integrating sensors that measure the pressure and flow of blood in and out of the heart. Data from these sensors can be analyzed using machine learning techniques to provide a real-time, quantitative assessment of the heart’s function.
Prof. Eric Diller has received the prestigious IEEE RAS Early Academic Career Award in Robotics and Automation for his contributions to magnetic wireless micro-scale robots.
Sun’s robotic ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) technology resulted in the world’s first robotically created human fertilization. He has also developed the world’s first automated robotic cell manipulation system for drug screening and bladder cancer detection.
Prof. Angela Schoellig was awarded an Early Career Spotlight at the 2019 Robotics Science & Systems (RSS) conference in Freiburg, Germany. Watch her Spotlight talk.
