Robotics
U of T Engineering has the largest and most diverse robotics program in Canada, and together with a range of strategic industrial partners we are ushering in a future where robots will extend human capabilities and improve lives.
We are working with McEwen Mining to develop a drone-based system to enhance operations. The drones provide real-time footage and 3D maps of sites that would be difficult to explore by traditional methods.

Centre for Aerial Robotics Research & Education
CARRE expands and unifies research and teaching activities related to the burgeoning field of aerial robotics.
Toronto Institute for Advanced Manufacturing
TIAM expedites research and development of advanced manufacturing technologies by creating a multidisciplinary network focused on sharing knowledge, ideas and resources.
Institute for Robotics & Mechatronics
IRM brings focus to research in robotics and mechatronics through collaborative research projects and innovative educational programs.
Study Robotics at U of T Engineering
Graduate students can choose from a wide range of technical emphases, including Robotics & Mechatronics and Advanced Manufacturing. Engineering undergraduates can complement their studies with minors in Robotics & Mechatronics, Advanced Manufacturing and Nanoengineering. Engineering Science students can major in Robotics as well as Machine Intelligence — the first program of its kind in Canada.

Assembling a microrobot used to require a pair of needle-nosed tweezers, a microscope, steady hands and at least eight hours. But now U of T Engineering researchers have developed a method that requires only a 3D printer and 20 minutes.
In the lab of Professor Eric Diller (MIE), researchers create magnetized microrobots — the size of the head of a pin — that can travel through fluid-filled vessels and organs within the human body
