Super fun day at Science Rendezvous Kingston! Thanks to the amazing Lynda Colgan for another fantastic event. And thanks to NSERC President Alejandro Adem and MPP Ted Hsu for stopping by!

Very excited for the Ingenuity Labs Research Institute to be part of the new Connected Minds (CFREF) program: https://www.queensu.ca/gazette/stories/understanding-human-machine-connections. Very much looking forward to working with @GunnarBlohm and others at Queen's and York on some exciting research in the years to come!

Congratulations to ELEC 49X #capstoneproject team of Amelia Maclatchy, Owen Hooper, and Megan Stanke at Queen's University for placing 2nd in the ECE Awards competition for their "Autonomous Building Guide" capstone project and the development of GEORGE (i.e., the #robot). This was a super-fun co-supervision with the wonderful Melissa Greeff! Best of luck to this amazing student team as they all pursue careers in #robotics #engineering and/or advanced technology upon graduation this spring.

Videos from the Ingenuity Labs Robotics & AI Symposium 2022 are now up on our webpage. Check out the keynote talk by Clearpath Robotics CTO Ryan Gariepy, the #robotics #debate and the #AI #debate. Like our first symposium, this one was hosted again by the amazing Amber Mac! https://ingenuitylabs.queensu.ca/rais2022/

This week we say farewell to our long-time colleague Dr. Heshan Fernando (https://www.linkedin.com/in/heshanfernando) who is moving on to a new position at FP Innovations in Montreal, QC. Heshan has been a mentor and friend to many of us at Queen's Engineering—and he will be sorely missed! Yet, I have a strong feeling that our paths will cross again ... All the best Heshan!
