Prof. John McPhee discusses the latest advancements in automotive systems engineering, specifically autonomous navigation and electrification.
Prof. John McPhee delivered the keynote address at the 2018 Asian Conference on Multibody Dynamics (ACMD) in China entitled "Multibody Dynamics and Model-Based Control: From Cars to Humans". The conference was hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in associated with the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM).
Dr. John McPhee and the Motion Research Group were recently highlighted in the Research Features Magazine for their advancements in Biomechatronic Systems Modelling, with applications toward autonomous and hybrid electric vehicles, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, aerospace systems, and sports engineering design.
Postdoctoral Fellow Reza Sharif Razavian was awarded the 2018 Lagrange Award for best PhD dissertation research on Multibody Dynamics from Springer and the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM) Technical Committee for Multibody Dynamics. Congratulations Reza!
Dr. John McPhee, PhD student William McNally, and MASc students Conor Jansen and Colin Brown presented their latest modelling research at the Sports Engineering Conference in Brisbane, Australia.
Dr. John McPhee delivered the keynote address at the 2018 Hatch’s Process and Technology Forum in Brisbane, Australia.
"On October 3, 2017, members of the Senate Committee on Transport and Communications toured the University of Waterloo Centre for Automotive Research, also known as WatCar. Senators participated in an automated vehicle demonstration with the University of Waterloo’s Autonomoose, the nickname engineering students use for their automated vehicle project."
In this presentation, Dr. Naser Mehrabi demonstrated how MapleSim was used to create a musculoskeletal model of lower-extremities and a neuromuscular controller to simulate forward dynamics of cycling.
