The Mechatronic Vehicle Systems (MVS) Lab—with over 40 graduate students, postdocs, engineers, and technicians—is one of the world’s largest vehicle control laboratories and a pioneer in developing holistic vehicle control systems. The laboratory has several test vehicles, including two electric SUVs, a Cadillac CTS, and an urban vehicle with MVS corner module technology plus a fleet of five autonomous shuttle buses (WATonoBus), and an autonomous utility truck (WATonoTruck) using MVS corner module technology. The vehicles are fully equipped with wheel sensors, Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/ Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), cameras, lidars, and radars for evaluation of vehicle control, estimation, perception modules, and autonomous driving. The vehicles are controlled in real time using our estimation, control, and automated driving modules.
The main current MVS research activities are:

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 Office of Indigenous Relations.
