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.
Congrats to Jonathan Kelly, our new Canada Research Chair in collaborative robotics.
The aUToronto team and their self-driving car, Zeus, beat out seven other universities to defend their first-place title in the AutoDrive Challenge.
UofT researchers presented 25 papers at ICRA this year, covering everything from micro-manipulators to autonomous vehicles and drone swarms, to robot assistants.
Students Kaicheng Zhang and Farzad Niroui from Goldie Nejat's lab win Best Student Paper Award at the 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (IEEE SSRR).
