Robotics research encompasses collective robotics, multi-agent systems, visual navigation for robots, visual servoing, remote-controlled robotics, and mobile manipulation. Our work in visual navigation focuses on challenges in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using vision systems. The visual servoing research explores robot movement controlled by live video tracking. For tele-robotics, we're developing methods to offset operator feedback delays through progressive 3D capture and rendering of distant workspaces, collaborating with organizations like the Canadian Space Agency on mobile manipulation initiatives.

Our academic programs provide instruction and research prospects across diverse fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Database Management, Game Development, Machine Learning, Robotics, Software Engineering, Human-Machine Interfaces, Bioinformatics, Network Communications, Algorithm Design, Computer Graphics, Visual Computing, Software Infrastructure, Human-Computer Interaction, Network Architecture, and Multimedia Technologies.

Qualification Requirements

Applicants for the Ph.D. in Computing Science must have an M.Sc. degree in Computing Science or a related field. Deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate undergraduate courses. A 3.0 GPA is typically the minimum GPA for acceptance in an MSc or PhD program. However, we may consider slightly lower GPAs in exceptional circumstances or due to small discrepancies in international GPA conversion rates. Meeting the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Our department admissions process is highly competitive and the Admissions Committee often selects students with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT, in-person or special at-home edition) - A minimum TOEFL score of 100 with a minimum score of 21 on each of the individual skill areas (internet-based), or equivalent. Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS - Academic) - A minimum overall band score of 7.0 with a minimum score of 6.5 on each band.
