Maglev Microrobotics Laboratory studies the design and development of magnetically levitated (Maglev) robots. To accomplish this, a magnetic levitation setup enabling high precision 3D remote positioning was built. Our Maglev systems find applications in areas spanning various disciplines such as:
We are working on the development and industrialization of various applications of magnetism such as electromagnetic energy harvesters and non-destructive testing for detecting cracks and defects in live pipelines.
Please contact us for more information.
Dr. Khamesee is a Co-PI in the development of Robohub in E7 building. A Magnetic Levitation Floor (MagFloor) is currently under construction in Robohub!
Research results of our PhD candidate, Hassan Askari, is featured in Waterloo news as: “New sensor could help doctors monitor patient progress from a distance”.
Dr. Khamesee was interviewed for CBC News article and his scientific insight is reflected in the article “Insect-sized robot can go from air to water and back again”.
They consume minimum energy because they're lightweight and they can do many things that a big robot cannot do.
Our novel nano sensor: Research results of PhD candidate, Hassan Askari, is featured in Waterloo news as: "Super-sensitive measurement method could advance medical research, environmental monitoring".

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
