Our very own RoboHub technician, Robert Wagner, has been featured in both the MME and Waterloo Engineering news for his efforts in building a PPE-free COVID-19 testing booth for a local hospital.
RoboHub collaborator Ehsan Toyserkani, Director of the Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) Lab, has used 3D printing and nanotechnology to create wearable technology able to monitor everything from vital signs to athletic performances.
RoboHub Director William Melek has been interviewed in a two-part article on the impact of collaborative robotics and autonomous systems on the automotive industry in Canada.
On January 22nd, the RoboHub was highlighted in an episode of "The Age of A.I.", a documentary series covering the ways artificial intelligence, machine learning and neural networks are changing the world. Our state-of-the-art robotics research, testing, and training facility is profiled in Episode 6, titled "Will a robot take my job?" — one of the world’s most Googled questions.
The RoboHub played host to a camera crew earlier this year which was busy filming TALOS and a few of our researchers over several days for a YouTube Originals docuseries hosted by Robert Downey Jr. titled "The Age of A.I." (watch the trailer on YouTube).
At the University of Waterloo, researchers are building a world where robots and people work together.
Recently, our friends at The Record visited the RoboHub has part of a larger artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics series called More Than Human.
You might have noticed something familiar while flipping through the channels earlier this week.
For the first time ever, the University of Waterloo appeared as a Pit Stop on this season of CTV’s The Amazing Race Canada.
In traditional Waterloo fashion, innovative projects and head-scratching challenges designed by students were showcased on Canada’s most-watched summer series.
Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have developed new technology to automate bridge inspections for structural defects and deterioration.
The system uses autonomous robots, cameras and lidar to systematically collect data for detection and analysis, making mandatory safety inspections both cheaper and more reliable.
What makes a machine more than just a piece of hardware? Do we form relationships with our technology? How should we be teaching robots to act? And what are they teaching us?
These are just some of the questions that Kerstin Dautenhahn is exploring as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Intelligent Robotics and a core member of RoboHub's research team.
