Continuum Robotics Laboratory

Proud that our @SvenLilge @UofTRobotics @UofTCompSci has been selected as one Pioneer of this year’s #RSSPioneers2023 cohort! A well deserved recognition of his groundbreaking research on tendon-driven parallel continuum robots. Congratulations to everyone!

@SvenLilge presenting his work on kinetostatic modeling of parallel tendon driven continuum robotics @ieee_ras_icra #icra2023 @ieeeras today!

🤖 Undergraduate Robotics Teaching Laboratory @UTM_MCS This innovative space is one of Canada’s most advanced #Robotics teaching labs and offers students a hands-on, practical way to learn what a robot is and how it works. uoft.me/9dr

@Dazitu_616 @SvenLilge Join @SvenLilge Toronto AIR seminar on Monday for an overview of his pioneering research on state estimation for continuum robots - a great collaboration with Tim Barfoot @UofTRobotics

Wanna control a super cool continuum robot? Join our Toronto AIR Seminar on 3/6 at 10:30 am E.T. to hear @SvenLilge’s works on Continuum Robot State Estimation Using Gaussian Process Regression on SE(3)! More info: robotics.cs.toronto.edu/toronto-air/ Zoom: utoronto.zoom.us/j/81710714054

@BurgnerKahrs @UofTRobotics @UTM_MCS @UofTCompSci @UofT 🍾1000 citations on our continuum robotics survey paper! Have you read it? ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

We are excited that some functions from our ever growing lab codebase are open sourced! github.com/ContinuumRobot…

Applications for the #RSSPioneers2023 workshop (to be held at #RSS2023) are open! Senior PhD students and early-career researchers in robotics are encouraged to apply. Find more details on how to apply here: sites.google.com/view/rsspionee…

Join @priyankarao__ for her talk on Euler Arc Splines for effective shape representation for continuum and soft robots #IROS2022 today. Or watch the talk recording on our YouTube Channel youtu.be/kavIG50nVb0

@BurgnerKahrs @Open_CR_Project Join Reinhard presenting the dataset and our insights on learning-based kinetostatic modeling of continuum robots today #IROS2022 or watch the recording youtu.be/vP3yqEIiH-Q

The Undergraduate Robotics Teaching Laboratory is now open! 🤖 #UTM undergrad students will be learning the fundamentals of robotics hands-on starting this fall in the Maanjiwe nendamowinan building.

How a slender, snake-like robot developed by @UTM's Jessica Burgner-Kahrs & her team could give doctors new ways to save lives #UofT 🤖 uoft.me/8cI

Join us live at the L-DOD workshop #RSS2022 @RoboticsSciSys on the livestream youtu.be/lHXp6j6YrY4

In the corresponding paper, we provide our insights on suitable joint space representations, task space representations, and one- shot sampling methods. bit.ly/3QJFqm2

Learning-based models of concentric tube continuum robots outperform Goldstandard physics-based models. Yet, the merits remain largely unexplored as no common dataset and benchmark exist. Today, we are releasing worlds first dataset! bit.ly/3ni59oa #RSS2022

We are hiring!!

#TEDxToronto is thrilled to be back for our fourteenth annual event, live once again at a beloved GTHA venue. Reserve your tickets now to meet our speakers. tedxtoronto.com #TEDx #TEDxSpeakers #renew
