The Laurentian Intelligent Mobile Robotics Lab (LIMRL) is looking for motivated undergraduate students, Master’s students, and PhD students interested in robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.

Our current research focuses on vision-language-action models for mobile robots, general-purpose humanoid robotics, robot perception, autonomous navigation, robot learning, and human-robot interaction. Students will have opportunities to work with humanoid robots, mobile robots, robot arms, ROS/ROS2, computer vision, deep learning, and real-world robotic systems.

Undergraduate students interested in robotics, AI, computer vision, mechatronics, embedded systems, or software development are welcome to contact Dr. Meng Cheng Lau about research opportunities, volunteer positions, course projects, and summer research positions.

We are recruiting highly motivated Master’s and PhD students to work on research topics related to:

• Vision-language-action models for robotics

• General-purpose humanoid robots

• Mobile robot navigation and perception

• Robot learning and manipulation

• Human-robot interaction

• Applied AI for autonomous systems

Ideal candidates should have a background in computer science, engineering, robotics, mechatronics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or a related field. Experience with Python, C++, ROS/ROS2, computer vision, deep learning, embedded systems, or robot hardware is an asset. Interested applicants should send a CV, transcripts, a brief statement of research interests, and any relevant project or publication samples to Dr. Meng Cheng Lau.

Limited funding opportunities may be available for exceptional Master's and PhD applicants through graduate teaching assistantships (GTA), research grants, and external scholarships. However, funding is not guaranteed and depends on the availability of research funding, academic qualifications, and the overall fit between the applicant and the research project.

Prospective students are strongly encouraged to explore external scholarships and funding opportunities and are welcome to contact Dr. Meng Cheng Lau to discuss potential research opportunities and available support.

Undergraduate research positions may be available on a volunteer, course project, work-study, or funded basis, subject to funding availability.
