Intelligent Mobile Robotic Laboratory

The Laurentian Intelligent Mobile Robotics Lab (LIMRL) is a multidisciplinary research group under the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Laurentian University. Our mission is to develop intelligent mobile robotic systems that can perceive, decide, and act in real-world environments.

We focus on a wide range of mobile robotics technologies—from wheeled and legged platforms to autonomous navigation, machine vision, and reinforcement learning. Our research spans both theoretical development and real-world applications, with strong involvement in competitive robotics and collaborative projects with academia and industry.

• Mobile Robotics – Autonomous wheeled and humanoid systems for exploration, mapping, and interaction

• Computer Vision – Perception systems using stereo cameras, 3D sensing, and vision-language models

• Artificial Intelligence – Reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and decision-making under uncertainty
