Faculty

The Global Engagement Seminar: Me and My Robot is opening its special lectures to the public for the first time! Join our 2024 Jarislowsky Fellows, leading experts and practitioners in the field, as we explore the social, physical, and practical interfaces between humans and robots and what their presence in our everyday environments will mean for ourselves as individuals and for society more broadly. 

Everyone is welcome - no registration required! 

All lectures are taking place in Engineering 5, Room 3102 and include a talk and Q&A. 

Join Us at the Waterloo RoboHub Spring Symposium

Join us on campus on April 4th for a full-day symposium: an interdisciplinary event where a variety of people and organizations across the private and public sectors will come together to discuss and learn about the opportunities and challenges provided by robotics over the coming 5-10 years.

We will have several keynote talks from experts in various fields related to the future of robotics, as well as exhibitors and lightning talks from across the robotics ecosystem.

University of Waterloo students may soon be able to order pizza or a burger from a nearby plaza and have it brought to campus by Canada’s first all-weather autonomous delivery robot.

When Pablo Molina (BASc ’11), chairman, CTO, VP of Product and co-founder of Avidbots, wanted to improve his company's flagship autonomous floor-scrubbing robot, he turned to his former University of Waterloo professor and mentor, William Melek, for help.
